One underrecognized effect of all this (speaking from personal experience) is the fatigue that all the red tape generates. The closer you get to residency, the worse the paperwork/bureaucracy load gets.

Eventually you get jaded enough and tired of it that you'd rather just go home than keep begging a place that clearly doesn't want you to let you in.

not to mention the demonstrations--these do not feel like real people

Obsidian is basically perfect. Huge fan.

Not disagreeing with your vague intuitions but just the point you made about shipping incomplete features and fixing them on the fly. You don't need reliable insider information to know that's what they're doing—you just need to download the Twitter app and watch the verified/official checks changing right in front of you.
