They don't need to.

A little personal knowledge goes a long way. For those who think Campagnolo is on the ropes, do some research, don’t listen to the bike shop lizard, who can’t even spell ‘Campagnolo’..
The whole Ekar package shows not only that Campagnolo doesn’t introduce something until it’s ‘right’(EPS, wet disc brakes, Ekar, also 9s, 10s, 11s, 12s)...
But they have the $ to make the investment.
I guess it’s wrong to mention shimano’s fishing division or sram’s too many to count.
