The exterior is done, the interior not yet

That's not true, there's a lot to be done on the exterior as well, the main entrance is not even finished yet.

The big achievement that happened recently is they completed the towers, so it finally reached its target height. Also the Pope's blessing.

"…the interior not yet"

Right, there is a long tradition in it taking centuries to build great cathedrals, Chartres, Notre Dame, etc.

I've little issue with that, however taking so long to build something such as an O/S that it's obsoleted itself many times over before being finished is another matter altogether.
