So while whole nations were using slaves or were feudal kingdoms it still does not mean the above were good enough at the scales required now. Their total population was like a few million individuals and most commoners never interacted with people from outside their village.
In these situations the method to "get the job done" only needs to work at village-like or small-modern-city scale.
