Obviously I don't know for sure, but I'd bet you work with companies  
selling to other companies, governments or other non-consumer end-users.

To me it seems to be the companies selling to consumers that tend to  
scrimp everywhere they can, especially documentation and QA.

Too many companies equate QA with "inspection". No matter how hard you  
try you cannot "inspect" quality into a product.
