Why are these all so...dribbblized [0]? They don't seem like real, actual designs for real people to use, they're more like aesthetically pleasing art pieces that just so happen to have some functionality attached, or implied.

I know it’s meant as a dig but I’ll take it as a compliment. I created my first user interface 13 years ago. Since then I went on to get a masters’s degree in visual communication and built up a decade of experience in the industry doing UI/UX and front end development. I don’t care if it’s back handed, if you tell me my work looks great I appreciate it.
It's not a dig, it's a legitimate question. Do you have any examples of designs used in real apps? Would be curious to check them out because most of these don't look like anything I'm implementing in my work, as a frontend/fullstack developer either.
