One discusses how to optimally implement equipment constrained by such

Inded - but that's the designers, and depending on what markets they are
designing for they make different balances especially of cost vs.
performance. On top of that, some get it more right than others, and in
some cases the engineers' conclusions get overruled by management,
marketing and other departments...

The discussions here are from the customers/users point of view, looking
at the end product of all the above, sometimes with a very different
view of what's wanted.
