Nexus 6P the phone will die randomly at random percentages. Sometimes you can turn it back on hours later and it'll last thirty minutes. Sometimes you have to "charge" it a little bit first. This issue happens at all percentages and I've had it for over 8 months now.
Usually it would advertise "at-least-once" somewhere prominently, like SQS, NSQ, etc.
It's really hard to be extremely available and to also guarantee there won't be dupes or out-of-order messages. Like databases, someone saying they offer both is usually hiding a trade-off.
EDIT: I think here "really hard" is a polite way of saying "impossible"
I'd suggest that WP developers exist because of the demand for WP developers and not because they enjoy it. How many people would be doing boring CRUD if it didn't earn them money?
Lot's of people are developers because they like building things, solving business problems, understanding users technical needs... I'm amazed that you think the only kind of satisfaction people can derive from their work is by constantly chasing the new and shiny.
There are other communities they could go to. There are plenty of other thriving PHP communities that you could move to, like Laravel or even Drupal. I just don't know how you look at all these successful communities that have lots of talent, conferences, meetups, etc and say "wow they all must hate wordpress"
The difference being there is an advantage to keeping economics knowledge shady & unknowable. Information asymmetry is one way those with wealth can maintain or grow their wealth. I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, but I do think enough independent selfish actors will result in a "conspiracy theory"-like outcome.
