Unreal Engine is broken, why do people use it and like it?

This extends twofold to animation blueprints.
It’s like the team making them forgot their own specifications for the animation system.
“It works so whatever” is pretty much what you get in 99% of animation related engine examples / content.

Take Foot IK for instance.

Implementing it right in c++ from 0 with 0 knowledge takes what? A week or 2 of trial and error?
How much does the content example contribute to what you need to learn??? -1 WEEK.
Because you have to forget everything it showed you before you can do it right

This is the point I was trying to make with the ladder climb component.

Took me about an hour to figure out how it was structured and make it work with G3 and tada I had a ladder climb that normally would take hours or days to write from scratch.
