I'm probably drawing from a limited sample, and might not be articulating it well, but I would add:
Developing a business plan that depends on a web-based product to succeed, then, instead of focusing on developing the product, hiring a bunch of assistants and reps to do the product's job by hand. You hear the words "concierge," "curated," and - worse - "bespoke" thrown around a lot when this is going on.
The actual product development ends up getting bogged down in a lot of the things that article discusses. My impression is also that there's often an overly-ambitious tech stack for what amounts to a CRUD app with a few feature tweaks.
I think that's what I'm getting at, it does in this scenario. A crude but working MVP could be knocked out in a month or two using any of a number of frameworks. Instead, a year or two later, the app is still half-built and most of the client base is coming from the manual work done by assistants, who prop up the illusion that the tech part of the company is on track.
