That makes them wimpier than our chad primitive sabertooth fighting ancestors who had endurance beyond any of those modern athletes. The enshittification of man has gone too far.
I had only heard of it once prior, in an piece which was discussing how the profit motive has lead companies to begin prioritizing offering cheaper, but lower-quality/less-reliable products or services.
I cannot recall what example they gave, but I think it had to do with complaining about tech companies (like Apple or Google maybe) for the typical ‘creating the problem to sell you the solution’ type of release schedule (staggering) for the eventual implementation of new design improvements into their hardware/software.
Presumably, the sales team thinks that method can help them sell more over time (or at the very least, have something to mention in the continuous marketing cycle without having to create a SALE in order to attract new customers)

Explains why the tasers and zip ties I bring along, each time I slip into a uni dorm in the middle of the night, frequently fail to subdue or restrain the co-ed I’ve chosen as prey. Fortunately, that K-Bar I got a terrific deal on at Bass Pro has proven reliable… Never had a wide-eyed 19 year old who’s barely been out in the world on her own offer much resistance, provided I’ve kept the blade sharp, and have it pressed right on her jugular

Yes, profit motivated companies reduce the physical quality of men by locking them in cubicles. Enshittification everywhere.
