It's not developers, it's management. We know how to make it better, but that's extra complexity. Meaning extra developer time (higher cost and longer turn around) to better support a small fraction of normal use, added on every time that part of the system is changed
It's more profitable and faster to say "forget those users" now that they're a smaller and smaller part of the customer base
