Could you please expound on why you believe that to be depressing?
I think it's a pretty bad look for the industry.
Not to say there shouldn't be humour — there should be more humour. Personally, my most popular software projects are purely comedic, and they're also a little more coarse than this.
To put it another way: I'd prefer the software humour to be a little more Sean Lock and a little less Beavis and Butt-Head.
