oh i love this video,
all this is true. and you would be right in these conclusions were it not for the dreaded political aspect of this.
the "shitty 90s era cgi" is being forcibly baked into everything now, with the intent to then have it mandated by laws that practical effects are illegal. and if you want to have *any effects at all* you have to pay one of the 3 vendors.
also, then there's the small sidenote that these things have more malicious uses than 90s cgi
