FWIW, this is a very subjective sentiment. I really, really dislike things like you described. Software is a tool to me. Let me do my job with it as simply as possible. No distractions and don't get in my way.

It would be like putting flashing lights on a hammer every time you hit a nail. Might sell well at Christmas but very few carpenters I know would want one.

Some software is a tool, but I think social media is solidly entertainment. Especially liking and boosting toots.

Tools should be practical, entertainment should be fun.
