Always blame the customer.

not always, but in this case, customers chose other products.

companies normally don't continue developing products that don't sell
well, or at all.

But it's the company's job to attract customers so saying that
"customers chose other products" would be more accurately expressed as
"customers chose better products". Which they did.

it doesn't matter if the other products are better or not. what matters
is that not enough people bought a given product for it to continue.

It matters to the companies selling the competing products. In this
situation better includes value for money.

there are plenty of not so good products that outsell better ones.

Apart from the fact that 'better' and 'not so good' are matters of
opinion, closer examination usually reveals why one product outsells
another. It is not always that one product is better than another.
