I don't want TP convince anyone they are not like jerks, but rather highlight why a corporation would do something like this to a (most likely) lucrative client.
I think the main problem is that people try to shoehorn OOP mechanics into everything, leading to code that is hard to understand.
Not to mention that this is basically encouraged by companies as well, to look "futuristic".
A great example of this approach going horribly wrong is FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition.
OOP can be great to abstract complex concepts into a more human readable format, especially when it comes to states.
But overall it should be used rarely, as it creates a giant code overhead, and only as far as actually needed.
And insurances provide monetary compensation until you become a common liability, too high to be covered by any sort of fee.
DDOS protection is just the same. It's only feasible if it happens rarely, like they usually happen.
However if it's a common occurrence it will just eat up the profits made by the fees and then some, which just is stupid to do in any case.
That is very true, especially when it comes to any administrative task.
However I'd argue that these jobs are less likely to be replaced, as these jobs are born out of a system that is favoring bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy over efficiency.
Challenging that system would result in a shift in the power dynamics, often towards subordinates, which, of course, wouldn't really be accepted by leading positions.
Ignoring the shady practices of Brave Software, this doesn't really solve the problem.
Sites will still use way too much scripting to be flashy, and that will continue to be a problem for everyone, because some of these sites willbe needed for some and will require all scripts to function properly.
What might help more in the long run is complain to the site owners that their site, despite you having an up to date browser, does not work on your phone.
Sure, some of those complaints will fall on deaf ears, but even some changing means progress.
Linus Torvals talk at the Aalto University.
Specifically a segment where he talks about how hard it is to work with Nvidia when it comes to the Linux kernel.
