That's great! I think your friend's take is sound and I agree with that being the likely root cause. I do wonder if there's a certain relationship between a closed project, however, and rational, focused design—not a necessary relationship at all, but perhaps a synergistic/convenient one (closed or tight-knit projects lending themselves to singular, disciplined visions, projects that are fundamentally open having a greater tendency to allow less focused design decisions creep in). I would agree on the "lost art" and "anarchy" — this definitely gives me something to think about! And I'm glad you shared this! I had a blast checking it out.
