As a business person with an MBA, I don't know how managers can justify the
band aid approach: it just throws good money at media (websites, documents,
PDFs, ePUBs, A/V, whatever) that wasn't built correctly to begin with. An
elementary break-even analysis (B/E) would show this clearly.

A similar model used in our American medical culture. Don't cure the disease
or prevent it: just medicate it into submission and keep milking the
population for the long term.

There's a time and place to take medicines, as well as to patch a website or
document with this technology or that one. But the majority of stuff should
be built correctly right from the start. Everything would run so much
smoother.
