I think this has a lot to do with the fact that web programming is very much a "let's go shopping" kind of discipline -- no point in troubling oneself over correctness when the users haven't weighed in on the worth of your site. Of course this attitude leads to a long maintenance phase of Crazy Stuff®, like writing a PHP compiler; but by then you have piles of money to throw at the problem! Such is the theory, anyways.
Or have sold your startup to some other company. Matthias.
