I've already seen how slowly they are trying to improve it. 10 years of observation. MLO5 is a good example of how they leave so many problems that slow me down but just add new problems. My software should not consume all of my time, I need to work on actually getting things done I needed to do in the first place.
I think it's because the platform never gets thought out and rewritten. You can't keep making it better if you never look at the big picture of what's wrong in the base code. What is taking too much time to manage. If there were an underlying API then other minds could start solving problems that shouldn't take up the companies resources and mine because I don't need everything others need.
