There's plenty of valid reasons to configure a static IP address, I'd say I do it weekly. Configuring a commonly used machine to be static for ease of use. Connecting a TCP communication device (barcode reader, RFID reader, etc.) direct to your computer for testing. Just as a couple examples.

The majority of people pay online. Obviously the mail and phone options need to be available too though.

Whenever I'm flying on the B787, I prefer to sit right behind the wing to watch the flaperons do their thing. I know it's a little different than this, as it's more of a PID driven behavior rather than an active predictive system. But regardless, it's quite impressive to watch how they are constantly reacting despite the plane seemingly not moving at all. They move very delicate and precise, which must be difficult to do when travelling at 500mph.

You kind of just described the job description of a modern "machinist". It's far more of a job regarding the machine itself (CNC in this case) and it's setup, versus the part itself being made. A mechanical engineer or manufacturing engineer deals moreso with that. Machinist is more synonymous with "operator" in my field.

Raises hand

To be fair, it's a lose-lose here. If we didn't implement strict and PITA-to-circumvent licensing, we would for sure have customers abusing it. As a small company, we cannot afford to patrol our customers constantly to make sure they are actually paying for software. We at least try our best to keep it out of their way. It's not my favorite thing to spend my dev time on, but I do understand it.

I use Angular daily as a frontend for our C++ app, hosted in Electron. I personally love the fact that it's opinionated (using their router, DI, etc) and most of their API is pretty extensible. For our purposes, it beats out Qt if you want an app with a highly custom UI. We chose it over React for the simple fact that it is so "batteries included".
