That's because it relies on a 6 month sales cycle to continue to generate profits. If you weren't creating new "features", then you'd have no reason to fork over any more cash. It also purposefully makes things arcane and complex because then it can create tools that allow you to wrangle all that complexity together, creating a never ending cycle of cash flow. |
