IMO this is very dismissive. One example of probably many more, where software is used by millions and yet doesn't have this much being reported.

It looks like it has more in: editor integrations, multiple guis and tuis, config variations, external systems (eg, git, mcps, curl-like requests?), statefulness (curl is "only" request response), inner runtimes (eg, sandbox per OS), sensitivity to its environment, possible side effects of its own execution, potential interaction combinations, etc.
Curl has hard system-level code requirements but it's design space feels more bounded and predictable to me.
This of course isn't an excuse for all bugs.
That is one of the reasons CC code is so low quality. The amount of extra unnecessary code just to implement it using React is by far the worst technical slop decision I've seen made by so called "software engineers" in a long time.
