Add the word "quarterly" to that sentence fragment, and you have the real problem... no long-term development, no R&D...
If you have to develop and build a radio while keeping the rest of your company showing a profit EVERY QUARTER, especially if the company is publicaly-held (because investors have gone completely insane and aren't in it for the long-term over here anymore... for various reasons...) you'll never get much but the high-end HF rigs done.
Oh well, it's DEFINITELY off-topic, but nice summary of the problem Jonesy!
