„they“ (someone not working in the field) try to solve a problem (i.e. warts in old and mature languages) that is literally not a problem in the field at all. Then they get pissed at you when you point it out that nobody needs this, like at all. Oh well.
It works the other way around too, hardware getting designed that no sofware person asked for or wants to develop for. Most hardware people are bad at software design, and vice versa, but the differences are necessarily papered over in software, leaving a lot of the theoretical gains on the table.
