HP is the other company to consider as analogous. And maybe more explicitly so, as they had a similar "engineering first" internal culture that degraded markedly over time to be a shadow of their former self.

And took similar companies that were quality engineering focused -- like DEC or Palm -- down with them through acquisition.

HP was deliberately destroyed by its moron of a CEO.
