There's nothing in these models that say its purpose is software development. Their design and affordances scream out "use me for anything." The marketing certainly matches that, so do the UIs, so do the behaviors. So I take them at their word, and I see that failure modes are shockingly common even under regular use. I'm not out to break these things at all. I'm being as charitable and empirical as I can reasonably be.

If the purpose is indeed software development with review, then there's nothing stopping multi-billion dollar companies from putting friction into these sytems to direct users towards where the system is at its strongest.
