I completely agree with this. Management is usually under a lot of pressure to add new features or fix bugs from the previous release that was also rushed. This has a compounding effect on technical debt.
The pace and scale of application development is also not at all comparable to the past. The level of involvement management has in app dev is much higher and there are more technical contributors who are less coordinated. This leads to a lot of "good enough" thinking instead of paying attention to details.
This is especially true for products and especially at startups. Less so for services at big orgs. Services tend to have a longer lifecycle. Services are usually B2B and the public never sees those UIs.
