Evolution does not optimize for quality of life. And evolution certainly creates some pretty stupid outcomes, as it favors slapping on quick fixes at random rather than intelligently engineering the problem away. So we have hardware problems like our blind spots that got 'fixed' in software, unlike other species that evolved eyes separately and happened to get the wiring right.
