If everyone does it and the majority of users are captured in ways that they wont or cant seek out alternatives then shipping bugs to users, letting them find amd report them and then fixing them is business-optimal.

What keeps users themselves from vibe-coding their own software?

If you don't own quality, why should I pay? You're just a middleman at that point.

It would potentially be more business-optimal to ship fewer bugs if everyone else is shipping more bugs. Your development cycle would be costlier, but users would prefer to buy your products over others.

Skipping airplane maintenance is business-optimal for an airline. For a few months.

"Business-optimal" is not the same as "optimal".

Pathetic state of affairs that this is said with a straight face. Jesus Christ. Software engineers deserve every hate that's coming for us.
