Maybe this was tongue-in-cheek in a way that eludes me, but in case any innocent and curious bystanders are as confused as me by your comment, I'm not sure "Worse Is Better" refers to what you think it does. It isn't about "features and functionality", it's about how ease of implementation beats everything else. I can't see how that applies here, or what your comment means in that light.

Here's the original essay -- https://www.dreamsongs.com/RiseOfWorseIsBetter.html

This is a good little overview entitled "Worse is Better Considered Harmful" -- https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs201/projects/2010-... -- in which the authors argue for "Growable Is Better".

In summary - it's about ease of implementation trumping all else. C and Unix are memorably labelled "the ultimate computer viruses".
