This is why in so many problem domains, especially outside technical problems for IT people, proprietary software is the only option, or the only complete option. The best way to ensure people pay close attention to those last areas of fit and finish, and make sure they get attention from people with the different sets of skills needed to do a good job in all of those areas, is to pay them. That means you need a really solid revenue stream, and initially need enough capital up front to get the project going.
I know, there are open source business models which work for some companies and that's true but generally in the sorts of technical problems for IT people. Compared to the IT industry as a whole those are edge cases. They seem more important to us embedded in the IT industry, but compared to the overall multi-trillion dollar global IT industry they're peanuts.
