I remember how it was over a decade ago and one hallmark of such systems was that they were easy to exploit.
My friend in college would just go into Wordpress admin panels and the like by using common exploits because nobody updated PHP on their VPSes back then.
As someone who spent most of their career to date as a front-end developer I learned that as long as they have the budget, stakeholders are insatiable. It's just that ten years ago most of their ideas were either technically not feasible or very expensive.
Nowadays browsers are much more capable, so the pressure to produce more features is much greater.

To our own peril, we can do much more now.
