That's why they bring a lot of value. Plus, new models and methods enable solutions that weren't available a decade ago.
So true.
You can only complain about creativity if you were actually being creative. 99.99999% of the industry was not.

Not sure what 95% of the industry created, but it did bring liquidity in my bank account and a roof over my head.
