It’s pretty sad, but unfortunately the exact reason why it seems like everything we use is terrible. Executives at companies don’t care for the aforementioned reason, but they discount the deep scorching branding damage this incurs that no amount of marketing will fix. Users who have the choice will switch eventually, whenever they get the chance, they will never come back and they will hate you and share their discomfort. This will lead to scales being tipped against you wherever possible. Now, you can still build a hard to avoid product and make a ton of money from it (Microsoft), so it‘s still not a losing strategy. So here I am just begging companies to stop building terrible products because they make people miserable. You can also build a high quality loved product and the effect above will reverse, but probably not at the same price (Apple, Jetbrains).
