I think you're being a bit harsh.

... But then again, many of us are paying out of pocket $100, $200USD a month.

Far more than any other development tools.

Services that cost that much money generally come with expectations.

Here's Jared Sumner of bun saying they reduced peak consumption from 68GB to 1.7GB: https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2026497606575398987 Anthropic had acquired bun just 3 months prior.

A month prior their vibe-coders was unironically telling the world how their TUI wrapper for their own API is a "tiny game engine" as they were (and still are) struggling to output a couple of hundred of characters on screen: https://x.com/trq212/status/2014051501786931427

		Yeah you don't have to convince me. I switched to Codex mid-January in part because of the dubious quality of the tui itself and the unreliability of the model. Briefly switched back through March, and yep, still a mistake. Once OpenAI added the $100 plan, it was kind of a no-brainer.
