what's the difference between internal tools

and normal stuff like docker, compilers, ci/cd tools, package managers, etc?

Have you seen any of the leaked footage? They have realtime debugging info appearing on the screen in a clear and easy to read way. It's not like a 20k line text dump of the logs you can grep through later. It looks a lot like the hacking/scanning UI from Watch Dogs except it provides debug info.

Yes, that's my point. Tools are tools, and there's benefit in making them good whether they're used by 1 person or 100 million people.
