Actually, you've provided examples that prove the point. None of those were especially good (though everyone wanted the G4 Cube), and yet they made it to market anyway. Why?

Because the CEO was behind it, breathing down their necks.

Pretty much every example is considered an abysmal failure that often costed the actual workers their careers while their CEO carried on.

If you consider that outcome a worthwhile endeavor, I don't know what else to say.
