Canva gives users without design tools expertise the ability to make fairly polished looking graphics with a super easy and intuitive interface. (As a designer, I can assure you that polished looking is not the same thing as designed.) It’s a very popular service, so they’re dealing with huge scale. Intuitive interfaces often come with complex mechanisms and lots of assets, and they have clients on every major mobile and desktop platform, and the web. They also do a ton of heavy graphics processing that is likely done in lower-level languages than the interface.

The likelihood of a 2000 employee software company simply not considering that they could streamline their build process is pretty slim.
