There is so much like this — software issues that are technically fixable but nobody is interested.
One of my favorites is calendar invites. They don’t work because calendars don’t have a unique identifier standard.
Or CR/LF paragraph boundary problems persisting for over 30y.
I guess they all wait for AGI now.
