I see this mentality all the time for industrial applications.
At work we have Stratasys 3d printers that cost upwards of $150k per machine, yet the “professional” slicer they come with is the most user hostile piece of software I’ve ever had the misfortune of handling.
They haven’t spent a single dime on UI design since '95 and the workflow feels like I’m in a wrestling match with the software.
The only reason these companies can get away with such blatant laziness is because they have no competition in their respective fields.
Wow, that UI really looks awful. The extra time and effort needed to work with that on a regular basis would be better invested into a modern application.
