    It’s not that the devs don’t care, it’s that they’re not given the time to do it properly. Developer time is expensive, that’s why most companies ship the very first rough draft that kinda works. If the shittyness affects profits then they will invest the absolute minimum in one specific area affecting business and nothing more.

      Yes, I also realised that a while after posting my comment. Corporativism is a plague that turns everything into a shittier version of itself.
