That's the result of product managers, project leads etc constantly thinking users need stuff, maybe trying to beat their competition, etc. I have watched a few products get bloated with the aim of beating their competition not providing user value.

    The really disgusting part is that actually works (if you're primarily selling to other corporations). Most of the most popular pieces of corporate software have the common trait that they do tons of stuff really poorly and nothing well. They get picked by the bean counters because the bean counters don't care that it's a fucking trash fire of a UI, they're just looking at the list of other software they can remove because this new software does the same job significantly worse. That or they're just mesmerized by the giant fucking bullet point list of "features".
