You have incorrectly ascribed the problem. The problem isn't laziness or ignorance, it is the hyper-astronomical number of system configurations most of which can never be expected to work well, let alone be tested.
It will never be possible to take a general purpose computer system where hardware and software components are designed loosely for minimum cost and maximum flexibility and produce a high quality real-time system. Such a system has to be purpose built from scratch and must be designed and configured under strict hardware and software version control. This is not how PCs are designed, built, sold, configured and used. This is precisely why I have repeatedly said that until the rest of the audio system is made sufficiently immune to all noise or jitter coming from the computer there will never be a completely satisfactory solution to computer audio playback. If you don't like this situation and can't find a suitable DAC, reclockers, power line filters, etc... then you shouldn't be using a computer, you should be using a purpose built transport.
There have been many mishaps with scientific software. People have been killed. There are whole forums on the risks of using computers.
