In short, the developers were completely insulated from any understanding of the average user experience. It simply wasn't possible for them to know how slow their code had become in the eyes of their market.
I had a similar experience doing QA work at Apple. I refused on principle to do what the other developers were doing: using the latest bleeding-edge computers off the line, instead verifying that things worked across the range of systems. This led to filing some interesting bug reports...
My favorite was finding what turned out to be a bug in the way the MPW C compiler created its stack frames. It would have been completely missed and shipped if I had been using the latest and greatest CPU set, and at first the bug report was dismissed as unreproducible because of course it worked fine on the newest machines.
