"Modern" in my mind has come to mean:
* Designed at the highest possible level, on top of multiple layers of frameworks, libraries, and dependencies that the developers do not fully understand.
* Full of anti-patterns that implicate privacy and security in a variety of ways.
* Designed as a walled garden, offering hobbled interoperability with other solutions, while attempting to vertically integrate features better implemented elsewhere -- or, in some cases, the exact opposite: designed as an excessively minimal solution, leaving concerns that should be addressed within its own scope unhandled.
* Unlikely to be viable for long-term deployment due to high time sensitivity in its dependencies; correspondingly fragile in ways that aren't fully accounted for.
* Built with a UI adhering to no coherent design patterns, targeting the presumed ability limits of people who will never likely use the product, while being wholly insufficient for those who actually do.
* Released prematurely with half-implemented features, unmitigated bugs, and incomplete documentation.
* Overhyped to the point that the majority of public discussion about the project consists of vague, unverifiable bullshit.
