I also prefer websites that keep it simple. But I downvoted you for conflating “what I prefer” with “what everyone in the world must always do”.

I actually don't think this is about personal preference. If you build/design something with components that serve no functional purpose, the result is just going to be worse. Classic architecture learned this lesson many, many generations ago.

This kind of thinking is what got us brutalism. I think I prefer the embellished versions.

If it is my website and my resources and my words I'll design it in a way that I prefer because it is my creation, my style. If that offends you then find someone to transcribe it for you. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

The person who made this website apparently prefers something different to you and me.
