It's always been like that.

The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built.

This is why software is so lucrative.. because the true cost of the software isn't how much you pay for it .. it's "how much is it going to cost you to change to something else?"

A great argument against relying on any software you can't control if ever I heard one

the costs of maintaining something well built that no-one uses are very low indeed.

unfortunately trash is cheaper and faster, and it takes a certain kind of genius insanity to sell something well built that doesn't exist yet.
