It's important to realize that Wordpress still powers like 40% of the internet. It was more in the past.
Most "developers" were busy cranking out low-end software before AI.
They never worked on large, complex software systems or in professional engineering orgs.
Lots of these people never would have made the grade, would have been cut, or forever juniors. Many were probably bitter about this.
Well now comes along AI..
