It's useful to note the difference between enabling your customers to use your product and supporting the company's goals. Enabling your customers to use your product means your company is fulfilling its purpose, and invariably this will be a good thing. But there's more to a company than just serving the customer. There's the people who work at the company and the work they do that matters too.
This is what's so funny about #2 and #5: they are at odds. If you take pride in your craft, you can't possibly feel good about 'just shipping' something out the door. The phrase 'just ship' is literally saying you're giving up caring about anything else to only focus on delivering a product. Where's the pride in your work? Where's the respect given to the other employees who have to deal with your output?
There is a time and a place for 'just ship', but it should never be a constant. If you'd like to reduce the costs of the company (by not having to spend as much time/money on maintaining 'just shipped' products), and help your co-workers feel better about the work being done, try to focus on the design and implementation more and produce something of real value.
