Most of the websites labeled as "brutalist" are actually extremely over designed and are made by very good graphic designers. They are "elite" bored/over with mainstream view of what is currently considered pretty and they try to push it further. It's about destroying conservative views. It's like some sort of experimental technology. Design like this is needed because thats how inovation and new ideas come back to mainstream design. So it is not exactly for mainstream audience but for the second wave of designers liking those unusual ideas, taking pieces of it and putting it back into mainstream. I guess it's same process as in music or in computer sciences. The fact that for past few years this kind of design started to be popular among the "elite" means that in next few years we might start to see more websites like reddit and craigslist :)
