There's no market for it.

  Not real talk. To have a market for something you need people to find it valuable. What drove the shift in values?

    could have been a pressure to decrease wages, decreasing quality in exchange for increased quantity of code.

      Alright, if we were to replace "quantity of code" with something like "feature velocity", I might agree that something like that could be the case. Of course, then the next question is: how was this accomplished? I mean, we're talking people's values here - i.e. the preferences of economic actors - IIUC the phenomenon underlying the entire market model? Are those so flimsy so as to be completely overwritten in a generation's time? Is this something that happens every generation?
