What I wonder is, why was WW so lazy in some cases?
Fixing problems like that sure wouldn't have been too hard

Not necessarily lazy, they could have been pressured by time.

Hm both laziness and time pressure can't be true, because IMO, it's much harder and takes much longer to render new assets and port them to SHP format than simply changing a few lines of code...

Most of the time in commercial game development, coders don't (can't?) do gfx. Besides, in case of WW, there's this whole thing of muted community feedback (Thanks, Delphi).

I'm sure Cannis or other oldbies could tell you more how people endlessly tried to convince Delphi into fixing more stuff back when the official message boards worked, and it was all ignored.
