I remember the first time trying to work with MFC. I was aghast at all the generated garbage the IDE produced. But I guess if you're a drone working in an insurance company somewhere, you don't want to have to deal with message loops, window classes, WinMain, and all that, so you would welcome all that stuff just being handled for you while you just filled in the application-specific code. To me, that was the fun part of programming against the Windows API. And it was gonna come bite you anyway, so in for a penny...
Extrapolate to the present day with LLM-generated code. I'm sure you're not far off the actual mark.
