I feel that the popularization of bloated UI "frameworks", like React and Electron, coupled with the inefficiency tolerated in the "JS ecosystem" have been precursors to this dynamic.
It seems perfectly fitting to me that Anthropic is using a wildly overcomplicated React renderer in their TUI.
React devs are the perfect use case for "AI" dev tools. It is perfectly tolerated for them to write highly inefficient code, and these frameworks are both:
A) Arcane and inconsistently documented
B) Heavily overrepresented in open-source
Meaning there are meaningful gains to be had from querying these "AI" tools for framework development.
In my opinion, the shared problem is the acceptance of egregious inefficiency.
