My experience as a dev is that it's not devs not wanting to fix those issues it's decision makers that can't sell it upwards.

"We spent x weeks working so users with low memory space can update" is like unsellable and will get you laughs as a response.

On top of that, reality is that this effort is rarely deemed worth it in money terms. How many users are gonna change bank for that?

And don't get me started on QA.

Software is complicated and it's good and complex as the organizations making it, we devs are just one part of the problem.
