Software today is shrink wrapped and pixel perfect because it has to be to justify the distribution cost to dissimilar users.

Software is expensive to write, so building it requires identifying an audience (as large as you can) and then building a thing they all would like… which necessitates aiming for the lowest common denominator.

Once it becomes mass produced, it loses its soul.

It feels less like human-scale creation for individual humans, but machined, efficient creation for whole abstract markets.
