Sure if you want to spend tons of money on a product that doesn't sell. I've seen corporations do it multiple times before (I myself was staffed on a project that was going to be 'the future of our department', worked on an MVP for almost six months, then the project was shuttered when the two major clients they were planning to sell it to didn't end up signing the contract in the end (one eventually tried to do their own in-house though, and tried to get us to just hand them our business logic for it).

If we had spent an extra four months or so getting this 'last 1%' done, it wouldn't have mattered. It would have just been even more of a waste of time and resources. At least they realized it before we polished the hell out of it.
