Yeah, this is the most damning thing. It’s clear that the web platform seems to resist being tamed with our current tooling. Adding more devs doesn’t fix it. As time goes on I become more skeptical that tooling can even fix it.

The impedance mismatch of a document viewer being made into a general app platform has yet to be truly overcome. All web apps try to eke out a living in the shadow of this.

That it seems to be everywhere these days is more a function of economics than anything else.
