This is just true for a whole lot of the industry tooling. Xilinx Vivado is a bloated piece of crap that'll crash all the time unless you have half a terabyte of RAM. Same goes for lots of other EE-tooling in general. The L and B in MATLAB stand for Legacy and Bloat. People still write programs for PLCs in Ladder, where programs still cannot be portable between vendors, or even different products from the same vendor.

All the companies that produce anything invent their own language for the thing and write their own compiler for it. These compilers are clearly not written by compiler experts.

I don't blame EEs for building bad software. They weren't trained to do it and aren't paid to do it. I blame the "if it works, it works" culture that the industry seems to have. Never go back to refine anything, just keep pushing more plugins, more software; create a patchwork of programs until you get the job done.
