I really don't think it's a conscious choice. Just Chris Roberts' typical perfectionism and nobody there to say "Ok, this is enough, we must ship something".

Having said that, I used to think Elite Dangerous had the superior model, but they've proven me wrong by going to absolute shit with Odyssey (no VR support, no walkable ships) and pretty much dropped all development thereafter.

Nah, this non-release actually gives them a lot of money, and they simply have no incentive to stop anyone who thinks it's not ready.
