> Of course, the above happens when you're in a market that requires estimates as a part of BOMs, which is a lot like bidding on projects and is just a race to the bottom for the most part.

Yeah this, to me, totally invalidated the rest of your example. Pick a low number to win the bid, blow the timeline/estimate, require more money to do anything at all. It is not clear to me that any "estimation" changed this calculus at all.
