My thoughts on this corpulent technology can be summed up by some brilliant thinkers.
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.” – E.F. Schumacher
“The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components of a computer system are those that aren’t there.” – Gordon Bell
“Keep it simple. A simple solution has elegance. It is the result of an exacting effort to understand the real problem and is recognized by its compelling sense of rightness. I stress this point because it contradicts the conventional view that power increases with complexity. Simplicity provides confidence, reliability, compactness, and speed.” – Charles Moore

Corpulent means fat. Is the technology fat?

I think they’re not using it literally. In this context, corpulent just means bloated/gross. That is also its literal definition.
So I think the word works here.

I’ve never seen it used figuratively, and all the examples in the dictionary are literal, but maybe it’ll catch on.

I’ve never seen it used literally. Ever. Only ever figuratively.

I have only seen it used figuratively, why are you like this?
