Very well put and the goal is to keep the mission-focus applicable as you scale, but rarely achieved. Even Google went through an adjustment phase and many of the old-hands left as they felt it became more structured and "corporate"
As you describe it's the short term v longer term view with companies selling to customers. These short term tactics are probably a little more common with the current economic challenges as vendors seek to slash operating costs and maximise returns now, just to keep going.
