A company that loses kajillions of Yen every year....year after year
after year after year... is bound to examine "why" keep going with an
entire division that just costs the stockholders serious money.
I think the answer is obvious when you consider the non-obvious:
Accounting trickery. You bury R&D and Engineering costs for other
divisions into the one division that is "forgivable" for losing money.
The whole company benefits from having one loser division.
While technically illegal and/or unethical, there are a myriad ways to
do this without conflict with the regulators.
