The thing is people are not looking at the less visible stuff hidden in scope. A mere fraction of a second increase in the time you don't have to wait after klicking something? Barely noticeable. Perfectly usable. Hardly worth the time investment to improve... after all that dev's expensive and then that button or whatever gets used by countless people. That fraction of a second ends up actually being numerous lifetimes. And as it's surrounded by numerous such "slightly inefficient but efficient from some other perspective" interactions overall efficiency dies a death of a thousand cuts. When you actively start paying attention to it and comparing it to little examples of what could be you start noticing how utterly garbage everything is. Even at the base level in things that have a massive userbase and that are used not just once in a while but constantly it's disgusting trash. I look around at the company i work at. They're all using it and probably not noticing at all but the fucking file explorer in Windows is slow as fuck as is countless other elements and interactions of it. The companies website so simple in it's content and functionality and is made by a webdev agency but is a bloated mess that takes a while to get to....a logo that shows whilst it continues to load. The software my coworker wrote is small scale and he said i was wasting a lot of my time making some small action faster not recognising that it's been used many thousand times a day every day for more than 10 years now. There's way too little moral panic
