My point is it doesn't matter how talented a Dev team is if it has to bend to corporate demands. The Reddit video player has always been bad. That's more of an infrastructure thing, no amount of efficient code is going to improve video playback if the servers can't handle the sheer load of video data.
Another example is graphic design, a well known livery creator online got hired by a formula one team, in alpine, to design the paint scheme for their cars. People were so excited about it. His fanservice designs were awesome. But as soon as he went to an F1 team, his work turned back to the same bland corporate paint schemes and liveries everyone hates.
