I agree, it's hugely frustrating. But the things we refer to colloquially as infographics are not infographics. Unfortunately, real infographics do not fill the role they do. Real infographics do not have the same mass appeal that these do, which is why they are only, in the loosest sense of the word, infographics. It is also why they survive despite being a worse product, when compared to real infographics. Rarely are the claimed infographics ever actually trying to convey information efficiently. No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the internet.
