All big companies are rusty and covered with cruft. Twitter showed that you may lay off 75% of the workforce and still run your business at scale relatively smoothly. It is a great temptation to follow the suite.

I will fully discard your argument because Windows 95 was a tech marvel of its time, huge leap in consumer OS segment and stayed unchallenged until introduction of Windows 2000 Professional, which was actually more on the workstation side.

"feat" is something that adds value to product's end users. The things we put on release notes. "chore" is something that adds value to the engineering team. The things we have to do to keep being productive.

OpenAI is patching their output since the lawsuit started. I believe a month ago the prompt would be like: "<Title>, <Author> for New York Times, continue"

I think it would be quite enough to prompt OpenAI with article title and author name. This is how LLMs are working.

Most companies have these directories but in different forms, including Wiki pages. The idea of auto-enrollment is that it is based on a standard and widely adopted OAuth protocol.
