I think this is weak inference. Many people might still be reading the

Orcan
The plains are littered with the carcasses of
orphaned VST's.
Also, it's possible that a lot of the plugins out there-- particularly closed
VST's-- are just eye candy, and the code actually is horrid. We'll never know,
because we can't read it. You certainly can't tell good code from bad code by
looking at the sick GUI they put on top of it.
There's also a lot of horrid code you *can* read. Apparently
nobody reads it, at most it gets copied blindly to yet another
plugin which then inherits the problems of the one it is based
on.
