Can one be too dumb for programming?

systemd is an init system that is super popular because it is so not shit and does what people want, and has adjacent projects that interface with it nicely

some people want more variety but put their effort in an unproductive direction

How does a great popular system has anything to do with “dumb”?

It’s that unproductive direction content. It doesn’t. Some people just want to hate things.
