> This kind of sounds like being mad that the cop pulled you over for speeding, despite everyone else also speeding.

It's a little closer to being pulled over in a Honda Accord with 200K+ miles on it going 71 in a 70 zone while Tesla's and BMW's fly by at 90+. Also those Tesla/BMW owners have had hundreds of tickets but somehow keep their licenses.

Yes, I know this is actually probably completely/near accurate to the real world, money runs everything, but it doesn't mean I have to be ok with it. I'm not advocating I should be allowed to "speed", just that it's frustrating to be the only one getting pulled over with (ok, I've stretched this metaphor as far as I can stand) a tiny dev team while billion/trillion dollar companies, for which my entire team is less than a rounding error, get away with murder.
