That doesn’t look so specific to software field though. We, mankind, are making buildings since even before we had writing systems. Are they perfect methodologies to make any building in expected time? Sure you can maybe make a bit more of rationalization and replicate a house many time with affordable local material. But you will not replicate the same house everywhere, because they don’t have the same material near them and move it from far might be economically prohibitive and not competitive with local material. Also your house design is probably a poor fit for many environments. And people have different cultural expectation in term of architecture due to historical factors, plus each individual comes with its own whims. Where is the standard scalable (both shrink and expand) omni-environment bridge design, hmm? All bridges have the same basic purpose, and yet I have no doubt building most of them have been a challenging endeavor of its own.
