I don't consider it that harshly. What users want (versus need) is often a driving factor in initial sales and that pays the bills. So marketing and sales are needed for that.

But other than that Word is the driving standard at this time. So it is unlikely to be a comparison so much as they need to come up with something new just to encourage people to buy a newer version. That is true in other industries like cars.
