Flame graphs have really only been a thing for the last decade or so. The free tooling for profiling code has been shitty and difficult to understand for most of my career. And most companies aren’t willing to pay for it if the product runs “good enough”. These days companies lock down their shit so tight that you can’t even install an unapproved app no matter how free or useful.
I think that’s true for many tools. Programming tools are the one thing that has most advancement because so many programmer are there to improve on them. And even if you don’t use it, not knowing about it completely makes it a bit odd. Although most tools I have used to make flamegraph were as easy as just running the program as a argument to another program that tracks the function calls.
