Organic engineering, the eternal conundrum with no solution in sight

Square and rounded things... engineering... have their purpose;
Cheap,
easy to make,
convenient to use
intuitive to use, no need for school,
robust and repairable
look at cars; everything is engineering, otherwise it would cost as much as a Lamborghini, and honestly, who can afford something like that? one in a thousand? maybe even less.
Look at houses, furniture, architecture in general, nothing organic.
Because a tree is organic, but you can't really live in it as it is in its natural state, nor can you use it as furniture as is.
A horse is organic, but you can't really use it for family trips, or for carrying goods, you need a cart, inorganic but practical.
Aaaa... some ornamentation is added to the visible surface that reminds of organic... that's just artistic, zero practical function, on the contrary, it makes that piece harder to maintain, harder to clean, much more expensive to produce, replace, etc.
Example of inorganic engineering... the Eiffel Tower, looks like a penis, zero art, but demonstrates the capabilities of metal joints in assembly, resistance over time, maintenance, etc.
A few kilometers away, the French tried to make organic architecture and engineering, the Centre Georges Pompidou, a piece of shit came out, which to my horror I visited for a whole day.
Nature produces organically because it has its needs and limitations, we do engineering for the same reason.
The organic has its place in art, where the need for practicality is zero or almost zero, and in the past it was limited to copying nature as faithfully as possible, today we want to give nature lessons in art, well, Picasso and Goya are two praised examples but in my opinion they are absolute failures, I mean you want to give nature a lesson... well, nature has billions of years of experience and Picasso had at most a few dozen years of talent and experience.
You want organic, learn Blender, a free mesh modeling program with some minimal parametric functions.
Amateurs' advice, Blender is not easy to learn, digest and use, it's a whole world, a different culture. You have to have blood in your system to get into Blender.
You want engineering, learn FreeCad, but like Blender... either you have blood in your veins or you soften like a fire hose when the water pressure drops.
