You’ve contradicted yourself. Which is it? Will companies try to get the maximum out of each hour of developer time, or do they just need to be good enough?
Perhaps what they meant is that companies will try to get the maximum in terms of development speed, while settling for good enough in terms of quality. And that's why we have so much crap software.
But they so consistently get terrible development speed and crap software. I’ve never been less productive than when I worked in a team that did big-A Agile.
