Isn't that similar to "what would Jaws be like as a movie is the shark worked"? It's not always a good thing. Spielberg has said he believes he would have made a worse movie and included more of the shark if it wasn't so finicky. Similar to today's bloat software that doesn't do any kind of refactoring because storage/memory is cheap. If there was that much storage, they would have figured out how to do unnecessary things that were not mission critical.
Sometimes, strict limitations are not a bad thing. It can be a weed out course level of filtering (since classes just started up again)
