Used to be minimum non-viable product
Regrettably the software industry learned decades ago that the vast majority of customers did not know how to feel the quality, would pay for any old shit and blame themselves for using it wrong when it did not work then buy an upgrade for twice the price (that did not fix any bugs) from the same supplier because it was what the staff knew how to use.
The number of customers with a clue has been slowly increasing (outside government) resulting in occasional improvements in average software quality.
