> This year's UI/UX trends have been an absolute disaster. Many brands are now using some kind of an amalgamation of animations + on-scroll effects that transition into this linear 3D experience. Replit is a good example of this, even though what they are doing is quite tame to what I have seen.

Probably because those trends are set by UI designers sitting in ivory towers.

If UI trends were instead set by people who actively used sites over and over for their day job, they would be far more appropriate and effective.
