Right. Whereas once upon a time the discussions weren't about how many Visual Goldberg products can dance on the end of a pin, but whether the RV carries advantage over Delphi's remote data features or whether dBase's auto-fetching views are more than a trickshot. People expected to use "a product" for their database apps and the tool vendors knew very well it ought to be cross platform. I look at every other industry where I ever lent a hand ranging from drain laying to production planning to sheet metal construction to insurance to registries to schooling to medicine... and everywhere I look I see constant encapsulation of moving parts so practitioners can focus on the business, not whirly bits needing constantly to be oiled. All except for IT. Seems to me these things are perpetuated for the jollies of developers, not customers, and not everybody sees that the customers are sick of it and that the current displacers, Apple and Google, already have latched onto that and are responding so as to delay their own eventual displacement by younger more responsive newcomers. Which still is good news for customers, but for Goldberg developers: as the parrot said in Scott Adams' Pirate Adventure: "Tides be a-changing, matey."
