While that might be true and the industry has evolved and learned about "better" ways, the old systems still exist. I don't see any reason to complain about it.
Yes, we can do better. Yes, we probably should do better. But in some cases you really have to think through every edge case and in the end someone has to do it. So just be grateful for what we have.
