It definitely is sad to see people not want to deviate even a little bit. I've seen at least 3 instances on Twitter where someone launched a product and they had the same landing page as another popular app even where certain components don't make sense.
A classic example is the rotating globe that you can click and drag. That was usually meant for showing sales happening across the world, but now people are just throwing it in a card with the header: "Innovative new features".
Like there's just no thought put into anything and what bothers me is how popular low-effort is becoming in tech. Startling.
