Waterfall is literally a strawman methodology made up to illustrate the worst possible way to build software (short of having a million monkeys trying random programs), in order to serve as contrast to a way that actually works.

I wasn't really going towards defending waterfall[1] but lemme give it a try.

Waterfall might be not bad when you cannot have feedback mechanisms, you cannot roll out changes in phases, where requirements/scopes are fixed, tech stack is well defined and products have matured enough.

[1] : wanted to more say, use the right tool for the right thing in the right way. I don't think its easy but its doable.
