I think it's partly the fantasy of having all the information you need at your fingertips. Surely if we had the right software, it would be possible! In practice effort is probably much more important than software features, but we blame the software we've tried instead of our own lack of effort at making good notes, and keep looking for that hypothetical perfect tool. Personally I don't even put in enough effort to install these tools, but I look at articles about them anyway, and futilely wish I had better access to my information.
