A lot of these gripes seem to be aimed at either poor imitations of well designed and implemented marketing pages or just straight up poor designs. From my experience as a front ender, I want to make the user experience as welcoming as possible instead of replacing native scrolling, stolen keyboard shortcuts, etc. It’s a designer that tries to impose their mock-up on browser defaults and only with front end pushback do we get a mediocre middle ground. There are certainly poor front-end led sites but I think that can go away quickly after some experience in the field. Design is largely shielded from that if they stay in the land of Sketch or Figma instead of interacting with the real web. This problem is as old as time: even in print, it takes experience and planning to visualize a digital composite as a physical object that lives up to your expectations.
