Cookie cutter has sort of a bad name.. but most people don’t realize how often stuff is just a rehash of something that already exists and has been proven to work.. Obviously just because something is cheap doesn’t means its low quality..
Companies can make a lot of money selling something like software that another customer paid to build.. it also represents a big value proposition for the customer.. Each customer before paid to have the bugs worked out.. and it took time.. Now you can just buy the software and it’s ready to go, and alot less expensive. Won’t the manufactured housing industry following the same pattern? Building a house isn’t that complicated and when you do it a couple hundred thousand times and you work all the bugs/faulty designs out.
Why build a custom car, when for cheaper you can go get a Toyota with components that have been tested and refined/improved over the last 20 years?
