I also think it's due to normalization of deviance, people are just used to it..

- You can't build a model, because everything will be changed with the next update, so, even if not consciously, people won't do it, why bother learning something that's not going to be of any use next time you use the application.

- because you basically don't know how anything works, it's a coin toss whether it's actually not working, or you're just "using it wrong".

- most things won't do the thing you expect of them consistently, so you don't expect anything of them.

Last night, I uploaaded some documents to my insurance company => modal:

- Title: "Files successfully uploaded"

- Text: "An unknown error occurred"

- Button: "Ok"

Thank you.
