You could've saved yourself a lot of words and just skipped to the end. Better is the enemy of good or good enough. Sure. But it's not good enough, which can be confirmed by simply using it. Speed is not my only concern either. For instance, I was some time ago arriving to a foreign country and I wanted to check which stores are open on a Sunday. There was a big supermarket chain that had a store locator and so I opened that page, added my zip code and wanted to see the results. You could not scroll the page! If it was a one-off bug I would say shit happens, but I see this all the time. Things jumping up and down, things you try to use but don't react or react very slowly etc. I am quite sure that project had a ton of people working on it, it had a CI, it had very high engineering standards (at least according to what goes by engineering standards today), but it had a page that could not scroll.
You don't need to explain me the shtick of expensive labor and cheap machines, we've heard that one ad nauseam, it's hardly original thought.
Whether or not it's a program is irrelevant, if it's not a program and it does the job, why are you writing a program? And if you want to write a program to fulfill other business goals, why are you not doing a passable job?
