Those corporations that undertake the actually difficult bits of programming end up charging so much money, to the point that people go out of to not use them though. Splunk, Oracle Database, Spanner, Datadog, VMware. We don't live in an idealized world divorced from business and money, unfortunately, but worse, software developers are notoriously cheap and hard to sell to. If I did the hard work and made a compiler that generate code that runs 10% faster, I should have a solid business. Even Intel couldn't make a business out of icc though. So the code is the hard part but business is also the hard part and it's a miracle any of this stuff ever gets off the ground.
