I think the only reasonable criticisms of the patent system is a lack of intelligent lawyers in the areas of discipline that often fail finding similar claims in other filings, and that patents only benefit large companies, not DIY garage makers like the rest of the world thinks.

I also think your shitting on lawyers is typical of people that don't really understand legal frameworks. Would you find it reasonable if I said: "software engineers are such a joke, everything they do is so over complicated just so they can get rich like those SanFran dudebros, and for what, so that I can shit in a smart toilet with a web browser and AI? How stupid." ... Oh, shit. Wait a second... :)
