1. Context isn't infinite
2. Both Claude and OpenAI get increasingly dumb after 30-50% of context had been filled

Not sure how that's relevant... I haven't seen many design documents of infinite size.
"Infinite" is a handy shortcut for "large enough".
Even the "million token context window" becomes useless once it's filled to 30-50% and the model starts "forgetting" useful things like existing components, utility functions, AGENTS.md instructions etc.
Even a junior programmer can search and remember instructions and parts of the codebase. All current AI tools have to be reminded to recreate the world from scratch every time, and promptly forget random parts of it.
