Why are the HP Prime and HP-35s so unpopular?

I fully understand that HP did not to want take back and change the code of units already sold. This would have been far too expensive. And as long as they did not know about the bugs they could argue that there is nothing like a guarantee for software to be without any bugs.

But the bugs are well known since years and HP still keeps on selling the HP 35S without any change. This can only be interpreted as a signal that HP does not care about the quality of the products they sell. This is very sad, especially for those like me who learned that HP products are of the best possible quaility.
