      Survivorship/survival bias.

      And yeah, it’s the same old “they really knew how to make * in the past”. Houses, bridges, spoons, video games, whatever. It’s just that the well made ones survive, and the badly made ones don’t.

        Idk, there’s certain structures like the pyramids where you gotta give credit where credit is due.

        They really knew how to make some shit.
