I'ma go on a limb and speculate: entire damn programming industry has decided that, rather than listen to their customers and sell complete products, they would rather provide inferior Shit as a Service because it brings in more revenues.

that's easy to say, but it's not programmers; it's the board of directors, executives, etc who put profit over all.
