I think to some extent developers suffer from confirmation bias, meaning they tend to focus on the positives while brushing the negatives under the rug. Often they have spent months and years working on a particular game and become so attached they are unable to see that it sucks.
Of course being rushed to deliver the product will have a major impact as well, but for games that aren't rushed there's my two cents.
