I really think d) is the most significant one here. It's pretty visible if you look at the problem structure. In a competitive environment, the first one to give a solution wins, at least initially. Since it's easy to hide bugs and unfinished features for the release, the ones who skip proper design will ship faster and thus win and preserve on the market.
