> A company with that philosophy will produce mediocre results and lose in the market.

The first part of this sentence is probably correct, the second part is probably incorrect. There are millions (okay, I exaggerate: thousands) of programs out there which do not "lose in the market" despite being mediocre. One of the recipes is specialization: If the decision for a company is "no software or mediocre software" mediocre wins.
