I worked for a company developing clinical research software. I was already annoyed that it was following contemporary design trends with headers, hidden menus, box overlays, big buttons. I wanted clean, professional, functional design. I heard from a friend who was doing deep dives with the UX team that the next releases of the patient-facing apps was going to be adding that Globo-Corpo art style tiles, and even some cute animals, like ducks. That wasn't why I quit, but it's not a coincidence that I quit right around the time I found that out. Imagine dying of cancer, exhausted after a long day, waiting to answer your dosing diary for a mega-corporation while some animated ducks paddle around your screen. My grandparents got to be adults, and live in an adult world where people were taken seriously. Why not me?
