Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the irony. It really devalues the whole thing. The next phase in online consumer culture will certainly be the commodification of the old web: reduced to a performative aesthetic, divorced from its original substance.

What irony? It is made for the artistic look and feel of websites as they once were. Seems to have nothing to do with the "open web" as you might like to put it.
You'd be lucky if that's the next phase, more likely it's just more Twitters and Facebooks.
Ye it what artists and designers talks, the trend cycle.
