It also contributes to buggy games. If you know you can't update them, you make damn sure they work out of the box because refunds/recalls are expensive.

If you know you can just push an update whenever, you have a lot less motivation to get it right.

We could, but that's a pretty shitty excuse. Just because something is complex doesn't mean the concept of testing doesn't work anymore.
