If you don't pay attention to the quality of the software, eventually it becomes unmaintainable and you can no longer add features in a timely manner and you get crushed by your nimble competitors.
One company I worked for was once the market leader, but over the years they failed to maintain the quality of the software. They kept adding more and more resources to get stuff out. Eventually it took them three years to get out a new release only for it to be so bug ridden they had to pull it. They are no longer in existence because they had the mentality of all that matters is features.
