> For example using "beast mode" on the front page search, a good portion of the domains are "handshake" entries with only a tiny little (i) button to distinguish them from actual domain names which could be used in the real world.

I also see a "pill" / "tab" that says "Handshake" and hovering the "tiny little (i)" kindly informs you what Handshake means.

Do you not see the same design as me maybe?

Three of the four domains here are on sale, all have a pale blue pill with white text, two have a (i) logo, one of them is nonfunctional and can not be used as a domain name in the way that a customer would typically expect. It's an incredibly deceptive listing in the wider context, nothing about the way it is presented would make you even consider that what is being sold in that line is valueless for a normal use case of buying a domain name.
