my (similarly uninformed) opinion is… similar. the industry is so regulated and unsexy that it doesn’t attracted the thought leaders and technical talent necessary to created modern, inoovative systems. instead you get more verbose epic garbage. i could be totally wrong, but i always assumed it’s related to the sexiness-quotient of the field.

Ads are even more unattractive, both intellectually and ethically. Yet somehow there's still a ridiculous amount of intellect being completely wasted on ads, likely due to the dull motivator called currency. I'm not sure what the factor is, but there are plenty of intellectually unattractive and societally useless careers that suck up capable people's entire lives.
