The problem is edge cases take a shitload of work via pareto principle. And if your company is small, edge cases can be ignored because they affect 1-2 users. When you're serving millions, those are thousands of users. You might be the only entity in that industry at that scale and have to custom build everything.

Edge cases? Medical software is loaded with them.
