> But management and the people in charge of OK'ing these designs have a 'make-it-happen' attitude and nobody really cares about semantic, native feel

I think this is generally a symptom of current leadership practices, where the people making decisions about technical direction are not people who understand how their product functions. This generally isn't top leadership, but the upper and mid level management, who feel they need to "make their mark" on the product to get promoted.
