Why don't devs for once say, "We have made a piece of crap let's scrap it."

I'm seeing devs making all these crappy games--and a lot don't even sell well. I don't think their losses are great, but if they KNOW they have a horrible idea, why not just scrap it? I don't think scrapping a bad game is going to make them lose a lot. Also, they might not even be that far in development. For once I'd like devs to realize they have made a piece of crap and need to scrap it.

IDK, I HATE That Project H.A.M.M.E.R. GOT CANCELLED
