I don't believe there's such a thing as "no design" design. It makes very little sense to me. There can be design with very simple and efficient flow but each individual interaction can (and probably should) be engineered.

E. g. where exactly to display the text, what should be the copy, how does the text input behave, where is it positioned and how does it all handle potential error, loading or any other state. To define all of these things and more is to design. Simple-looking visuals don't necessarily mean a lack of design.

There is no such thing as "no design". This misconception just seems to never die. Seems like a lot of people are just happy to repeat that straw man forever and think it's still insightful to say you shouldn't "design for the sake of beauty and organization."

How could you possibly have escaped the Steve Jobs quote about how design is about "how it works" and not "how it looks", even though it's posted a million times a day on every social platform?

You'd expect that kind of thing to be part of the social unconscious at this point. Not to mention that Jobs isn't close to having even invented that.
