Problem is these softwares can be made as fast as they were before but instead of investing time on performance/resource usage, developers see more value on extra features. So you end up with a fully featured but slower than ideal software. Even it is slower, still in acceptable limits to the majority of users.

Yet another post blaming developers when it's the product managers and business development people that decide the direction of the product.

I’m not blaming developers. Indeed extra features are more valuable(for users/marketing etc.) than performance most of the time. So, it’s completely normal. More hardware will lead to more features and bloat. There is no one to blame on that.

Developers on this very site will happily deliver a slow running JS Electron turd if that means that they don't have to learn a new tool or use the process that isn't "fun" to them. Blaming just the business owners when the developers themselves refuse to do their job well is a bit strange.

Kinda reminds me of life in my socialist state - everyone did their minimum to tick the box they had to do and then just slacked off the rest of the time. Everything was kinda shit but it's not like anyone got paid more to do a job well, amirite?

Oh? Then can you explain why the same phenomenon happens in FOSS software?
