@inthehands @toba @mcc I worked for about a year on stuff adjacent to the High-Performance Computing world, and I saw firsthand that if you're outside the "most people" in the "this'll be good enough for most people", you're basically left to make homespun stuff of your own, and lose out on all the benefits (in terms of polishing, speed of bug fixes, frequency of updates, quality of documentation, etc.) that the "most people" benefit from.

Your point about marginal cost of improvement increasing is a good one, so I'm not sure I see a way to solve that. But it was something to behold how janky the setups that this gave rise to were sometimes...
