Very interesting perspective you bring, I can't say I disagree with anything you've said. From my perspective, most things people hate don't justify hatred because honestly the emotion of hatred is meant to be deployed in more high stakes scenarios, a good deal of which have been removed from our modern sanitized society (especially—to your point—for the middle to upper classes). People get angry about all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. That said, I don't think design is primarily a social construct. There is actual meat to design. Design can communicate social constructs, but it's not some kind of insider's club for the upper class. There's a basic barrier to entry, but it's no more exclusive than any other form of higher education, which these days is lower than ever.
