Very much this. They clearly consider the games they make as product rather than craft, and their AI philosophy assumes the end user sees it the same way, where so long as they deliver so many "units of game," regardless of quality, the purchase line will somehow remain unaffected.

Well, it wasn't meticulous attention to detail so much as not being sure whether I'd want a long shot in there from a different angle. Too much raw material beats too little when it comes to editing!
