Again you seem to be too much fixated on how to actually code that
feature.
Again this is not what I expect. And whether you rework the whole
features 3 times a month, or once after 3 Months is quite a difference,
isn't it?

Again you're confusing things I guess. The hardware specs reads: must
support these or that features. Not: that chip must be placed here, run
with this frequency, use the model from that manufacturer.

Sure, you can (and will) make wrong decisions, but that's not the point.

Yes. I agree. But showing bad examples of something does not mean that
the whole thing is bad. There are idiots in politics, but that doesn't
mean politics itself is a bad thing.

Those usability stuff would have been bad or even worse without a spec
as well. So no point for you.
