Context shifts.
Back in the days, people wanted tools to do serious things, expensive tools. And computers were nothing yet. Easy to dismiss. Now, computers are used for entertainment mostly, cost 400$, so who cares. Most of this industry is driven by the shiny, so it's easy to overlook lowly basic details.
Even when people care (Android Project Butter etc etc) it seems a bit too late, the culture shifted a bit and there are too many layers.
