Ask HN: What is wrong with modern software development

I’m trying not to be a naysayer, but what is wrong with modern software development and why does it require so many developers while projects get delivered later and later?

A couple years back Dynatrace was hiring a thousand developers worldwide for improving their product.

The OSX-team, who developed an entire operating system including utilities, famously consisted of 100 developers.

What is wrong with the industry? Is it scrum and pull based development? How was it before ticketing systems? Did bosses just assign tasks to their employees?
