Sorry, you did not answer my question, but instead presented excuses

No, you misunderstood my answer:
"Because people don't pay programmers enough."
I think that might be an inaccurate statement in two regards:
- programmers make VERY good money, at least in some fields (if you know
where to find good, cheap coders, in the US, let me know where)
- (a lot of programmers) do NOT have a particularly user-focused mindset
(just ask a C coder what they think of Hypercard - you'll get all kinds
of answers about why end-users can't do any useful; despite a really
long track record of good stuff written in Hypercard, particularly by
educators)
Note: This is irrelevant vis-a-vis Jon's question, however. The answer
to why he can't find easy ways to upload files, is because he isn't looking.
