It's the difference between knowing how to market and knowing how to actually build shit.

Turns out, in our modern society, the former is a far more valuable skill than the latter.

Just bullshit your way until you get enough money and resources to actually hire people who know what they're doing and can build the thing.

It sucks

One guy I used to work with (long before LLMs) built a website for his company and listed a bunch of software there for sale. Except he hadn't built any software product yet. Once someone contacted him about buying one of the products, then he would build it.

Has this ever happened? I though the way to go was enshittification of an already inferior product

Blitzscaling. The enshittification comes once the userbase is stable and the company can't keep bullshitting investors about possible future gains so they have to start cutting.
