    An elegant way to make someone feel ashamed for using many smart words, ha-ha.

    Unintentional I assure you.

    I think it’s some social mechanism making them choose a brute force solution first.

    I feel like it’s simpler than that. Ye olde “when all you have is a hammer, everything’s a nail”. Or in this case, when you’ve built the most complex hammer in history, you want everything to be a nail.

    So I’d say commercially they already are successful.

    Definitely. I’ll never write another cover letter. In their use-case, they’re solid.

    but I haven’t even finished my BS yet

    Currently working on my masters after being in industry for a decade. The paper is nice, but actually applying the knowledge is poorly taught (IMHO, YMMV) and being willing to learn independently has served me better than by BS in EE.
