I think it is important to differentiate software agencies and digital marketing agencies. Early in my career I worked at a few digital marketing agencies and this does feel very similar to what could be churned out. Everything was sold on the design. Sales teams would promise, mockups would be signed off on by clients without engineers looking at them, and there was usually a rush because of time and/or money once the project made it to the engineers hands.

This is what I mean, thanks for adding the clarity that I neglected to. I did make it sound too much like a personal attack against the implementers here, but you’re right in that the ones hiring the agencies are just looking for the fastest possible output, not quality, and applying that pressure.
