It’s because of the extreme amount of contracting, outsourcing, and in general “I don’t care how our developers or admins feel, we can always hire more”. This stuff is all incredibly for profit and the software getting worse isn’t going to change that much. (I think “so bad” is a level we haven’t reached yet, right now we are at “janky”)

I think there is also no willingness to change this. People cash out, aren’t concerned about anyone else needing to use something or any major impacts changes will have beyond profit generating or profit saving.

Maybe convince the companies that having good software is more profitable than mediocre software and industry dominance.
