  Not necessarily the weight, but lots of other attributes of cars and other factory-made products are the way they are just because of the process in the factory. Sometimes to make production itself cheaper (not just material cost, but process-wise), sometimes to make it more efficient and sometimes just because automating it fully with good results is impossible, compared to making it by hand.

Well, the magic of the digital realm is that the process doesn't dictate much, if anything at all, regarding the end result of a CMS.

  My electric kettle recently broke. When I got into the guts of it, I noticed there were a lot of weird components that weren't really used, or didn't seem that useful. When I searched youtube for help, I found out those components were for kettles with a physical on/off switch. Mine didn't have the switch, but everything else on the inside was still there.
