How far we've come that incompetent only means "enforces strange password rules" while still putting out a large, complex (and functional!) system instead of, well, incompetent.

Password rules is one place that is relatively visible that shows business rules and tech limitations in play.
If the system shows a misunderstanding of security or makes it clear that shortcuts were taken, then what is to make you think the same didn't occur on a deeper and more important level (databases, security, etc).

Definitions of competence vary with time and circumstance. The formerly competent may become the currently incompetent, with no change in skillsets or capabilities.
