Good and legitimate question. I think several factors are involved.
No one has ever told them straight to their face that their UI sucks.
Secondly, language barriers and the fact that westerners are strange and a pain in the ass to deal with. Talk disrespectfully and whatnot.
But most importantly programmers run rings around their managers who have zilch knowledge of code. "You want what? That's gonna take another six months, at least"
