Most closed source US software is garbage too. Some stuff, like Steam, is beloved anyway. But actually the program itself is terrible and slow even on decent computers.
Struggling to think of corporate produced software that doesn’t suck. iOS Safari is ok, I guess.
Sure but "almost all tech is bad but almost all non-bad tech is American" in effect means European software is seen as bad. (And as an American who's spent a lot of time in Europe, this has been my experience, personally.)
In America the least bad stuff eventually rises to the top. In Europe it feels like it's all just one shared pit.
> almost all non-bad tech is American
The reason is because Americans buy the other tech firms, so its not because they don't make non-bad tech its because USA just monopolizes it via very aggressive acquisitions.
