Similar observations could be made about jankiness/glitchiness in software. The amount of time burned on fighting misbehaving software has to astronomical, in some cases eclipsing the productivity brought by the features that dev energy was spent on instead of general stability and quality.
Take Photoshop for instance. Just about anybody who spends even a moderate amount of time in it will tell you that even though it's become more capable in the past 15 years, it's also become a lot more frustrating and bug-ridden. Personally speaking, I would be just as if not more productive using something like Photoshop 7/CS1/CS2 than I would be with Photoshop CC.
