I think you are vastly overestimating not only how much people do work rationally, but how much it's even possible. E.g., System 2 thinking is just much more expensive. And programmers usually work in environments that are pretty data-poor with respect to important factors. And that's before we even get to both project-level and individual path-dependence.
