Why should we, the developers, invest money into refining software when we can just get you, the users, to invest in more hardware?

we, the developers, invest money

The developers don’t invest money and they don’t decide shit. Software is not optimised because the managers and shareholders are only interested in more tracking and new “features” that only exist to deliver a payload of more tracking. More tracking means more data that can be sold.

Optimisation funding is under error margin levels in the vast majority of industries and for the vast majority of products.

Far too many developers are also terrible at their job and are unable to write decent code in the first place, but they get zero say either way.

Because more hardware means sell for more money

Yeah, that’s one half of both.
