Interesting point of view. I don't think it's CAD and time-to-manufacture, so much as it is lowered expectations that have been ingrained from our experiences with computing. No one thinks twice when they need to reboot a PC during a workday. We put up with software locking up, we shrug our shoulders at the vagaries of CAD programs & other Name Brand SoftWare. Nobody demands the best when "just good enough" is universally accepted. No sense complaining about bugs & workarounds when no one will bother to fix them, they'll just sell you the next bell & whistle. So, those attitudes carry over to other walks of life. Mundane is good enough.
