They were designed by a capitalist. Why should this surprise anyone?
The object was to get a product to market as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Corners were cut and mistakes were made.

This is my assumption about nearly all modern tech. We’ve reached the point where it’s nearly standard practice to release unfinished products and/or software. In many cases, it ends up being a particular person or small group of enthusiasts that end up finishing and polishing the product.
Not only that, but support for many tech products is shorter-term than ever. I was talking to a mechanic recently who was surprised to be informed by Alfa Romeo’s parts department, that they did not offer replacements for a particular part for the brake lines on a car that was less than 10 years old and referred the mechanic to find a seller on eBay who makes them. There was indeed one company making the part and selling them on eBay. That was the aftermarket support, lol!
