Even more annoying than the idolization of game devs is when you open up the "Displays" submenu of the osx system preferences application, and it takws several times longer than the previous major version, several seconds!, with the only significant change being a different layout, and constantly trying to ignore how nearly everything takes so much longer than necessary, wasting so much time and energy.

I agree that not everything is like a game, but it makes me legitimately sad when it seems like nobody cares about performance (aside from a few domains).
