I have a family member who is quite into "ancient aliens" and who has read all of von Danikens books. The main thing I realized from arguing about it with them was that rigor and science did not really matter and would not convince them of anything. It's an emotional and spiritual belief for them - a way for them to rationalize how humans went from mud to computers. They don't believe in human creativity being powerful enough to lead to modern society and think an external force was required. Ancient aliens is a convenient and fun theory for how it could have happened.

The titan submersible made for good entertainment while the migrant ship did not. This isn't a grand moral failing, it's just business.

I'm sure people have thought about it, it's just hard, annoying, and asking a lot of mostly unpaid OSS contributors. Many mod developers are high school / college aged.

Sandboxing Java code running in process requires ugly and obscure security APIs and restricts you to having to have a common modding API (Forge). Many mods use bytecode patching and would be broken completely.

ChatGPT could probably pass most FAANG programming interviews - it's successfully done linked list inversion, binary tree searches, dynamic programming like knapsack, and will even do program design if you ask it how to design a data structure or class.
