Are customers willing to pay 10x the cost for the mildly better experience? At most places, there’s barely enough time to implement things completely let alone to optimize everything properly. It’s also noteworthy that optimizing 10kloc from yesteryear is a much easier task than optimizing a few mloc of code today. We didn’t just lose all those optimized libraries. The requirements bloated and nobody wants to reduce features.
