True, however as these products have been designed and coded by LLMs from the ground up in 2025+, they are generally using modern (typed even) languages, the latest version of third party libraries, usually have documentation of sorts... sometimes they even have test suites.
As such, they can often be improved as easily as one can prompt, which is much faster and easier than before. Notably in the FOSS world where one had to ask the maintainer, get ghosted for a year and have them go back with a "close: wontfix (too tedious)".
