It is probably a mistake to humanise the artistry of a commercial software endeavour. These systems exist because capital has deemed it worthy to exist, and they will reflect the desires of capital - to consume and expand. When AI comes in and breaks the historical flows of these systems, we will see this breakage reflected in the ugliness of the products. Capital would cut all the humans out of the software production process if it could.

Open source software, or software created for personal or artistic reasons, is worthwhile to consider as being human-driven. Linear, while an effective ticket management system, is probably not an example of this.
