That applies to a lot of things. Microprocessors, keyboards, screens, hardware in general, compilers, OS, databases, CLI tools, text editors, browsers, drivers, etc. I like to think of it as a great achievement, that I don't have to think about these tools most of the time. Still, enough people are thinking about them to make actual progress on them. We may be standing on a house of cards, but lots of people make sure everyday that it won't fall.
