It is because in business practice very widely used paradigm/model (of thinking) "good enough". Most known example was Ford model T - it was not the fastest, it was not most beautiful, but it was cheap and reliable enough for daily usage, and it conquered US.

Nearly all other producers, before Ford model T, tried business models "the fastest", "the most reliable and comfortable", they are also good models, but they are just much less popular than "good enough".
