In my experience what you're describing is true. JIRA Scrum is abused by businesses to implicitly blackmail teams into delivering ASAP, that means shortcuts and dependencies to "get shit done". All else is secondary. Tech debt? Put it in the backlog. "Good enough" is king. Every fault attributed to "stupid web devs" is just a projection to mask the true anxiety that the market has deemed expert, artisanal engineering irrelevant to profit and success. A comment above was lauding a fork of an open source electron app for implementing a C++ backend: good luck convincing a business to do that. Microsoft probably does this for VS Code precisely because their demographic are people who profess sensitivity to these types of details, but the broader population is not.
