Think about how Intel, who pioneered the know how, can't build cutting edge nodes in the levels that they need to make it profitable.

IBM had to sell their fabs to cater to the whims of "shareholders".

It's useless to get a higher score on compliance than the leading engines because ... no one else can use them.

the kind of bugs you can start with are like :

- this icon is a bit weird, it's off centre by 2px - how do I add 2 pixels to this icon? either by moving it or by changing the underlying image asset? if I'm moving it, what is the subroutine that paints it? if I'm changing the image asset itself, where is it stored? (is it in a packed store? or is it just a plain file, etc)

- when I click this button, trace the pathway - it's supposed to add to history and turn blue. is it doing that?

etc.

everyone does it. I'm pretty sure your home country, whatever it is, also does it.

it's the equivalent of banging fists on tables to try to get people to toe the line, and the US does it a ton. Russia does it. China does it.

even small countries does it too.

You'll find the same names appearing over and over again.

The reason all companies seem to do the same thing at the same time is that their boards are all the same people giving the same order to all their companies' ceo's at the same time.
