And how many more engineers were needed just to manage that monstrosity? It's a virtuous loop: more money justified to pay engineers, to build more overly complex and inefficient systems that need even more engineers to maintain. The money isn't the issue, as I pointed out. The issue is that such ridiculously complex systems are less agile and harder to evolve and maintain, and it's hard to put a price on that.
