    A lot of the same things you mention about game development are also apparent in open source software which is why it is usually so terrible. Someone that can program some complicated visuals for a 3D modeling program does not mean that same person actually does 3D modeling, which is why the interface for so many open source programs are abysmal.

      I have a friend who has been coding various things for years and they are never successful because he builds interfaces he understands how to use. No one else does things his way.

        Yup! That right there. You give a technical person a job that requires some level of “soft skills” and that is what you get.
