        Because its a challenge for the developer and therefore fun.

        Yes, definitely!

        It’s like making doom run on a pregnancy test.

        Wasn’t that just getting it to display on a tiny screen? The pregnancy test itself didn’t have suitable hardware, or even a suitable screen, as far as I can recall

      It’s like kissing that ugly girl in a party nobody wants to partake with – it’s useless and completely unnecessary… but oh boy it sure is fun!
