You can generalize this conclusion into almost anything being designed with a short lifetime. Our society is fast and getting ever faster. It's unstable and exponentially changing. In these condition, nobody can afford to do anything foundational or timeless. We're in constant survival mode, just trying to make it to the next financial quarter. Why worry about 20 years from now when we're not even sure our entity survives the coming 3? Why invest in something "proper" when that proper thing may be entirely obsolete or lose relevance? Why develop a product that lasts if you can win more when you make one that doesn't?
