You have to consider the audience.

Because of bloated frameworks and slow convenience libraries the front end is a very low barrier of participation. The problem there is then that peoples’ entire careers and life worth are stacked around these fragile glass houses and the only thing they want is to avoid being exposed as a fraud.

Is writing a killer product without all the bullshit that impossible? No, clearly not, but that completely misses the point.
