I highly doubt the reason for the lack of rework is it hasn't been proposed or thought of. I'm not debating the need, they WILL eventually bump up against the limits of this older, complex, garbage system in a very hard way (if not already), but implying they're not aware of this is unnecessary. I bet the guys who work on this daily would give their left eyes to scrap or rebuild some of the systems they have to work with everyday, but their job isn't to set policy. It's to do what the higher ups say with what they're given. Someone who comes in here to say "here's why this was done" doesn't need the response of "your work wasn't wanted or needed, you should have been doing.."
Sorry but this is where I call you out on the white knight

This
and a lot of people, myself included, have the relevant professional experience to weigh in on this.

He's mentioning that there are plenty of people who work in programming that can see this same thing. I know plenty of people who work as programmers who have called code issue since 2.0. They have reached an impasse. They have reached the end of the line when they can't implement anything due to old code they need to restructure. There is always something that is a limitation, used to be PS3, now it's old 32 bit, tomorrow they will say PS4, and if they add the switch to the combo it'll be the scapegoat.

Every potentially good improvement is marred by a limitation which is rather unacceptable under any standards when they have paying customers. I'd not care if it was a F2P but when this company charges potentially millions a month, I expect to see the money we pay be properly used.
