I think people often underestimate how bad the average programmer is out there.
It’s apparently not unheard of to have C programmers who don’t know function pointers or even structs work, or who don’t know what a build system is (only ever used an IDE).
There are many people who will just plug stuff together until it works somehow, without understanding why or how it works in the end.
