Not always.

There is likely some development occurring that is assumed to be funded by future growth. If that growth doesn't pan out, then the addition of features may not be economically viable.

As an example of a website who did it right, look at Craigslist. After their website was developed, there has been very little development outside of targeted areas meant to grow their revenue stream or make the site easier to manage.
