I wonder if that's a lingering effect from the auto chip shortage from 2020 (limited choice lead to using processors less powerful than they'd like), or just the general shitty quality common when companies try to add features outside of what they are familiar with? Maybe combined with hiring shitty developers that want to run a full browser stack when they need to be doing embedded real-time programming instead?
