That's not true at all though.

Car makers don't make a car and dismiss the entire engineering team.

Sure, you could do that, but eventually people are going to move on from your only car that's old and clunky.

That's exactly Bending Spoons model. Cut all the expenses, let the product die slowly. In the meantime you might have made more money than you put in to buy the product and the team.

It's basically bankrupcy management.
