A company that doesn't understand the importance of marketing is frankly a poorly run company. Lots of great products have died from lack of good marketing.

While we're on it, I don't agree that all changes have been just marketing. To me the changes to Glocks, M&Ps, P320s, etc. have been ones that I appreciated as a user. I've owned an XD and an XDm. Neither was so great that I thought no changes could be made at all. Do product evolutions help generate revenue? Of course, though they can also benefit the consumer. A company that passes up chances to generate more revenue is a bit misguided imo.
