The Pentium has 70-something errata, each of which had to be found and worked around by somebody. Now consider the range of microprocessors and microcontrollers used in handheld devices, appliances, and other electronic equipment.
I personally have run into compiler issues for Lattice FPGAs where it was outputting incorrect binaries. And I couldn't run on another chip until the problem got resolved, because hardware was being developed in tandem with the firmware and we had already progressed beyond the point of component selection.
I understand that this is beyond your experience. These are obviously not the droids you are looking for.
