I think the problem is that there's no clear payback for testing $s and no clear measurement of what is enough testing. Managers save money by cutting back on testing--by the time the effect shows up in poor sales for the next version they've moved on and aren't hurt by it, it's someone else's problem. Furthermore, the support people seem to be trained to ignore bugs so there isn't even any direct feedback showing how badly they messed up.
