The devs claiming superiority because of their technical prowess is to stand on the root of all sin. They do not have the authority they believe they have, they are not the dictators of software requirements. To claim a need for elegence in the midst of complexity is haphazard and a self delusion. Complexity is to be managed, not eliminated. To change software contrary to the desire of the primary users, of whom have decided to rely on the utility of this software, is to destroy the software product. Core, as a result of the technocratd surrounding it, has become a branch who's time has come to be pruned from the tree of life that is bitcoin.
