> Yes!!! I have been saying for years that lower level protocols are a bad joke at this point, but nobody in the industry wants to invest in making things better. There are so many improvements we could be making, but corporations don't see any "immediate shareholder value", so they sit around happy as pigs in shit with the status quo.

If this was true then how do you explain that the likes of AWS, the same company who ended up investing in developing their own processor line, doesn't seem to agree that none of the pet peeves you mentioned are worth fixing?
