I think the big "issue" is that there's a notable lag between loss of goodwill and loss of income/profit/value, and there's an even bigger lag between trying to fix goodwill and returns on that. It makes it too hard for any profit-first company to get right.

I think you're absolutely right. When these studios go public and start having pressure from shareholders, it starts the gradual decline in quality.
