Nor is it obvious that an elegant solution can be found by anyone who has been
too close to the problem for too long and gotten stuck in a box the walls of
which they have trouble noticing.

I agree. So does actually paying attention when I express respect and
appreciation for the people who worked on the "pig". I wasn't kidding;
I can tell they're very bright people who put in worthy effort just by
reading the product.
Getting stuck in an overcomplicated blind alley in design space is not
a thing that happens because anyone is stupid or evil. It happens
because these problems are *hard*. Often, just noticing that you're
stuck is the hardest part.
It's happened to me, too. I have developed enough humility to actually
value people who can jolt me hard enough to notice how I'm stuck.
Perhaps you should consider cultivating more of that yourself.
