To me it always meant needlessly complex and overspecced for what's needed. I think probably due to Java's enterprise years. Why solve the problem directly when you can abstract everything away into FactoryFactoryImplementationInterfaceFactorys, and have something that is both a memory-hog and completely unassailable to any normal programmer seeking to understand it or make changes?
