I hear this sentiment frequently. Come on, one software engineer cannot steer the huge ship that is BigCo Risk Assessment. Well, they couldn't do that and the original task.

It might me more helpful to think of these types of external factors as fixed points that cannot be moved and just engineer around them.

You'll burn out if you try to boil the ocean on every business process that doesn't seem "logical" from your cursory examination.

On one hand, this is true. On the other hand, this is being put forth as a reason to not make a change in the entire Python ecosystem, and it's not really Python's job to bend over backwards for shops that have bad risk assessment either.
