If Microsoft or Adobe had that stubborn philosophy in developing their software, they would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. But even more important is the observation that if they keep fixing bugs, waiting for a perfect software for release, they'll never release it, for new bugs will always pop up. Just look at the beta testing subforum; bugs are being reported all the time! I would suggest that they just release Scrivener 3 for Windows now and then hammer out the smaller bugs in incremental updates.

Again, wrong. They're not new bugs that somehow magically just "pop up", they're merely bugs that had not previously been detected.
Perhaps I should give you the benefit of doubt, as it would appear you're not a programmer, nor have ever had any direct exposure to the software industry.

No. It does not. It seems like they keep pushing he release date out because they want Scrivener 3 for Windows to be feature complete, which it at present is not.

You need to make the Windows side as equally and justifiably important to you and your company as the Mac side of the operation is. You haven't, and thus you don't have a product to sell, only a promise. Some might call this fraud, as it certainly borders on it.
Good luck. I'm still waiting.
