I cant speek for the applications / os industry, but as an employee of
a computer games company I can say that profits from product 'A' get
put into the development of product 'B', not so product 'B' is
cheaper, but so it is BETTER.

Developing games is a very expensive, competative business, and the
company I work for *is* in the habit of giving away old products once
they have earned their crust (assuming the publisher doesnt forbid
it).
