Exactly. Pretty sure however berkshirehathaway.com is deigned builtin.com will find genius in it.

Meanwhile, thousands upon thousands of unadorned personal websites (including that of yours truly), especially in academic circles, or websites of old-school software projects look just like this masterpiece.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Do you expect builtin to find your personal site for this writeup? Does your site have the same purpose and is it being consumed the same way as BH? Can builtin know that your site design is effectively for the consumers that visit the site?

Whereas with BH, they can be sure that this page gets used as BH has a wide net of consumers that'd need to leverage this site. If this design was a major blocked to business effectivity, BH has enough money to change it. The fact that they haven't suggests it's at least good enough.

What I’m saying is this is just the boring old way of writing websites and it’s still widely practiced today, there’s hardly any genius in it, nor is it a masterpiece.

Also, your argument that any company with enough money to fix a dysfunctional website must have a good enough website is kinda laughable.
