Are there any examples of 'perfect' software? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm talking about programs that can't be improved no matter what. They do exactly what they're supposed to and will never be changed.

It'll probably have to be something small, like cd or pwd, but does such a program exist?

ugh, no way. It might do a fine job with typesetting, but the user experience is utterly awful and that's very unlikely to change because of design choices over 40+ years. If you don't think so, give typst a real try.
