Yes, "worse is better", the ultimate reason of why inferior technical decisions get universally adopted :/ Of course, one day the technical inferiority finally shows itself (e.g., the ports do conflict), and then people start to heroically overcome the obstacles they've created for themselves, showing outstanding feats of ingenuity.
