To be honest it's mostly not their fault. Most people want to do the right thing and that's what they're taught. Doing things differently is frowned upon, and most people don't want to stick their neck out and say the emperor is naked. Recently at work some people argued "things" (methods, classes, even files) should have a limit in size. I think that's valid thinking because you want to strive to having smaller components that you can reuse and compose, if you are able to do that. But what happened is that people started creating dozens of little files containing a function each and then importing those. To be it's obvious that this is now a lot worse because the complexity is still the same, just spread out across dozens of files. But most people were somehow convinced that they're "refactoring" and that they're doing best practices of keeping things small.
