Most people who make remarks like that are not nearly as exceptional as they think they are. https://xkcd.com/610/
But just to give the actual answer, it’s probably that:
* Things are not okay. Read any CVE list if you wish to deny it.
* It’s not getting better. In fact, it’s getting worse, because software is getting more complex.
* Making software less complex is a fool’s errand. The whole point of software is that it can be more easily changed than hardware, so just not changing it at all is missing the point. Yet removing features that have been put out there is disruptive, and often selfish, egotistical, and demonstrating a poor organizational structure (I’m looking at you, Google, and your dozens of chat apps). As such, we can expect successful software to monotonically increase in complexity forever.
Do you have a response that isn’t either either: something that a cynic could dismiss as a cult, some sort of “your needs don’t matter” dismissal of features that a lot of people like, or a bleak declaration that the whole world sucks and that’s just the way it is?
