I’m really not. And I don’t get offended by very much. Maybe you’re not a native speaker? “Poor” as it refers to quality is a negative qualifier. And it’s typically used in a subjective context. That’s the connotative meaning.
Even the definition used here (taken from Google) indicates so, if it weren’t truncated:
poor (adjective) worse than is usual, expected, or desirable; of a low or inferior standard or quality.
The list of synonyms is even more telling about it’s real meaning: shoddy, bad, deficient, defective, lamentable, deplorable, awful, etc.
These are not words I’d use to describe the technology, having seen it first-hand. The technology is not worse than usual and I really don’t see how it’s worse than expected or is otherwise undesirable. It’s out there and being enjoyed by people.
It really does not. You’re inventing things to be offended by. It simply means it is low quality version of the same thing, which it very much is.
In retrospect, Ford’s first cars were a poor version of their 2019 ones. Doesn’t in any way diminish the accomplishments of the past.
