You can even say this is (among others) the root cause of al evil in computing:
Any wrong in the bottom of the stack "spread" far and wide, and when you UNDERSTAND how bad that was, you are stuck: You can't fix it without break ALL the infected!
This is why C/c++/Js/PHP/etc cause so MUCH damage, and lost of money. Them are at the bottom: Even your fancy Rust must deal with it. Even modern C must deal with it!
That is why is so important that we, as developers, understand we can't expect real progress until this is improved, and why is so important that better tools with better defaults become the norm (ie: invest on them!).
