I feel like I couldn't make this more confusing if I tried. What is doing on with the golden arrows around /etc/profile??

That's decades of legacy for you...

I bet each step/arrow/decision had a good reason at some point, but most of them probably back when computers lived in caves and hunted their tapes using spears and rocks.

I feel like we're slowly reaching a point where the complexity is collapsing in on itself - just look at the absolute chaos a modern web app is.

I was referring more to the graphical representation that the actual flows.

Agreed! It's cathartic to see it laid out so terrifying. Now I feel less bad for never understanding it.
