Yeah, the original Doom engine has a lot of quirks (some unintentional, others necessary to be usable on PCs at the time) inherited by most source ports for compatibility reasons.

ZDoom and its derivatives often ignore them and are far more advanced than most other source ports, at the expense of severe performance issues on certain maps
