I think the (lack of) quality of these tools shows that software engineering is maturing as an engineering discipline.

We were overbuilding trivial parts of the software like the Romans overbuilt small bridges.

Modern engineering is about making the thing that barely works. If you disagree, learn a little bit about bit narrow the tolerances of modern cars and bridges are.
