Of course you'll get shit when you have people who have no background or experience working on user interfaces. We came few cycles into that already, ever since web democratized access to doing such things. There was even Mystery meat navigation as a term way back in 1998: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation

This is nothing new. Amateurs going pro. DTP saw something similar, video as well.. lots of things.

What's new however is in mobile age, what are you even designing for? It's a moving target between device aspect ratio and screen sizes.

No wonder it's all a giant galleria abominate.
