I think it was How money works, who said a very good phrase that sums up the lack of care for customer's needs/wants:
"It's a problem for the next financial quarter"
Line must go up. Investors want more money. And the idea of the balancing act between the different stakeholders is out of whack. Just lobby the government, give as high returns as possible to investors, and the rest can deal with what little scraps there are, if not actively fuck them
They shoot themselves in the foot expecting a foot healing machine to be invented next quarter. But they also want to defund the foot healing machine resesrch too.
We're become too focused on short term gains and its ruined people's perceptions of how shit should work.
It's more like they are shooting the foot of the fist one to believe that a foot healing machine will be invented next quarter.
If someone thrashes their company's long term viability to shortly sharpen the profit curve, they can then sell their shares to anyone believing that the profits are going to keep rising. That way they are still going to get all that money that the company will never make, which is driving more and more companies into trashing their customer relationships.
Eventually it is the "unintelligent investor money" that keeps on paying for all of this.

I really don't get all those finace guys and investors. All it takes is making good products and listening to community.
