Just the usual symptoms of a profession which was never regulated properly, compared to an engineering profession. So anyone could drag it around however they please. Look this shiny thing I made, this is much better than the competing not so shiny things we use daily. You are a peasant not using the most shiny thing on planet earth, this is the new epoch.
Do we need this? Nah. Do we need this horrible abstraction over a zero complexity thing? Suuuure.
And this will lead to horrible issues later on. This is just another symptom.
