Bad software (therefore all software) is like the recurrent laryngeal nerve in giraffes [0] (a freak of evolution). It is unlikely to be the result of a singular minds "design". It is more of a result of evolution through countless independent decisions, each of which are individually an improvement, but put together results in weird inefficiencies that are impossible to fix without starting from scratch. And when was the last time you were allowed to "redesign" something from scratch at work?
