Analogy: Textual version of Material Design from Google.
Standardization in important information rich environment is good. Standardization for art is not good. We should not mix these two distinct scenarios. Or maybe I am old.

What? The post I linked to is talking about the layout and appearance of the page, in addition to a few textual elements.

Why is this good in general? And specifically, how is standardizing on e.g. a meaningless status indicator (that doesn't really indicate the status of anything) "good"?
Besides, this is not standardization, it's statistical models (LLMs) converging on a design for arbitrary and likely inscrutable reasons, without understanding the meaning or purpose behind design.
