Well, one company can certainly make it worse, by e.g. ignoring years of API ergonomics around process spawning and give you a vaguely-specified "command" string, then pumping VC money into their marketing budget to make themselves an "indispensable" daily tool.
(Mostly I agree with you - just want to point out that in addition to the necessary complexity, the tooling around it also produces a lot of unnecessarily wrong-by-default behavior.)
- Brian_K_White 4y ago" the tooling around it also produces a lot of unnecessarily wrong-by-default behavior." It does. What I meant by one company doing something about it was, in realistic terms, no one can do much about the fact that the rest of the world uses a lot of complex systems that aren't as robust as earlier simpler systems. You have to use the current tools and that's just how they are now. You can try to be less stupid as possible, but you can't change the ecosystem you need to live in and interoperate with.
