I don't think they are 'stupid'. I think in general the overall look and feel of applications, websites, etc is all very subjective. For example I really strongly dislike many aspects of Material Design even though most people seem to love it.<p>Also since they are constantly changing and tweaking things I've given up on constantly criticizing looks (or trying to customize things to suit my taste) and I just focus on usability and functionality. I only get upset when a user interface has become so poor that the former things suffer as a result.
