Value proposition of an awful lot of Enterprise Software is evaluated only in hindsight, and on an institutional tidal wave of "Industry Standard!", FOMO, and all-expensed "Technical Forums".
"Good" is optional in the land of the ERP. Or even "not-gut-rippingly awful"

#4The cost of coding [something] (that may or may not serve purposes) is approaching 0. That doesn't mean code is (or came) cheap.
I'm reminded of a quote I heard recently, concerning military drones: "hardware becoming cheaper & cheaper. Software that controls it, becoming more & more expensive".
Read: opening a can of pre-coded stuff is 'free'. But: the engineering effort that went into that existing code, and the effort required to improve that, is on a hockey-stick curve.
