I don't know why others mock it, but as an older person working in IT, I can explain why I mock it even when knowing it was real software SGI shipped with IRIX.

(Minor correction: it was not shipped with IRIX but a free demo you could ftp. After 30 years I had forgotten that until looking at https://web.archive.org/web/20070409024417/http://www.sgi.co... and similar sites just now.)

OK, please do.

Literally my top-level comment in this thread.

I hadn't realized that was your reason for mocking the scene, I had thought it was just being kind of pedantic and making an observation about the scene.
