Platform decay strikes again.

Bezos and the shareholders weren't happy with AWS already being one of the single most profitable products in human history, because capitalism demands unending infinite year-on-year growth.

Whenever you hear them cry that capitalism breeds innovation, the kinds of innovation they're talking about are this shitty AI profit-maximising algorithm that created OOP's problem. This isn't a crazy conspiracy theory either; I've consulted in the software dev teams of dozens of major multinationals and the projects were always, without exception, some variant on "how can we replace people" or "how can we reduce costs by doing something slightly worse".
