Coming from a development company, I think I have to point out that in my
humble opinion the statements above are an unfair generalization. I think
developpers in general try to produce a well-written product, and the fact
that products get more complicated is that users expect more features from
newer versions.
To give an analogy, if I posted on this list "all DBAs try to have a
database that requires a lot of manual maintenance and don't document
anthing - that's in their interest for job security", I'm sure there would
be a general outcry.
