They can afford to invest in something that will only last a few years.
In fact they have to in order to survive long enough to participate in 
the next hype. So I might be right and they are still doing the right

Is it fair to assume that apart from having no low level programming 
skills, your marketing skills are also not very well developed?
Or to ask a personal question that you don't have to answer: what *is*
