>    - Rapid software development
>    - Lesser quality code, with less efficient use of resources
>    - Higher resource demands
>    - Higher minimum requirements for the application

The reason I usually hear:
It used to be that your people's resources were inexpensive
compared to hardware.  When it turned the other way around
(especially for PCs), development shifted dramatically to
reflect the change.  Spending the additional resources to
write "higher-quality" code just didn't pay anymore.  Good
enough was, well, good enough (and cost a lot less).
