Unfortunately, they have a monopoly on architectural, CAD, and BIM software with AutoCAD and Revit. You’re completely locked in with no choice, everyone uses it so you must also use it.

Trimble isn’t far behind in the ‘shitty and expensive construction software’ market, but they aren’t as ingrained as Autodesk.

I’m not familiar with Autodesk in other industries but I assume it’s just as bad as their AEC software offerings.
