As someone who has used terrible to ok b2b apps my whole career I think people who are not programmers/designers don’t even think along those lines. “So the employee has to click seven times instead of one? Thats what I pay them for” kind of mentality. The only good news is the worst apps seem to die off over like 5 years.

Not only B2B. Also online education. Blackboard, an LMS, comes to mind. It's the kind of software that looks nice in a presentation but it's usability is terrible. Getting to the latest content of a class requires a dozen clics and lots of scrolling.

Christ I despise Blackboard.

And christ I despise Moodle, too: the developer experience working with that back in the early 2010s was horrific.

I'm scarred from working with/on LMSes at this point. SCORM gives me nightmares.
