As a disgruntled roommate, this sentiment really bothers me. How can a car mechanic be expected to create a superior tablet without years of effort and training? Only big corporations have the money to write thousands of lines of code and put them in front of dozens of consumer trials to find out what is really the less "broken" way of doing things, in a world where only the subtleties of human interaction determine what people consider broken, as opposed to the more tangible/mechanical ways of the past.
