I'm happy at least the Sun has time to rest at night, it would be so hard to keep shining all day

I would just like to point out that it can still get so, so much worse.
Outsourced to Asia, and you get phone pranks the quality of Jian Yang from Silicon Valley.
One other reason I could see is pure idiocy. Like I've seen that there is a bias to using every feature some software has, and if a max limit can be set, it will be set, to a "reasonable" value.
Imagine having to contract with a company in order for them not to fuck your life up with your own data. This is ridiculous.
Nah, we should have different days off, duh. Let me have Wednesdays off, some peeps can have Fridays.
Actually, I would prefer to have weekdays off instead of weekends, easier to focus with less people at work.
Some countries use YYYY MM DD which is also sane.
Condolences.
That, and society does not like it when you do so, and the more you get off the beaten path, the harder it gets.
To be honest, I've seen a lot of code in my line of work, and my experience says that if the speed of a language is your concern, you're either in high-frequency trading or working on some real-time use case, or you're wrong.
Most time you perceive as lag as a user comes from either atrocious programming, or network lag, or a combination of the two. A decently, not even well, but decently written Python vs Assembly subroutine will have differences in execution time measured in nanoseconds. Network calls usually measure in milliseconds, and something like a badly written DB query that reads a ton of data from a disk will do seconds or worse.
My point is, I'll take a not-badly written Python program over someone claiming to have chosen C/C++ for the blazing fast speed in a user facing application, when half of CVEs ever have been submitted over memory safety problems in C/C++.
Simplicity of maintenance, and these help with good security.
or /opt, or a binary in some hidden folder in /home...
