Yeah, I think a lot of what web tech makes possible/standard in a UI is actually frequently things that add a lot of complexity with little actual value. Animations, a widget that looks different from the thousands of other widgets you use daily that do the same thing, non-standard behavior, etc. Computers are ironically much harder to use now than they were in like 2000, and it's not that they're doing things that are fundamentally way more complicated, it's just a lot of bullshit that isn't entirely neccessary |

The problem was a required input control was so heavily styled that it was genuinely difficult to recognize it as interactive. Possibly impossible for my mom, whose eyes aren’t what they used to be.
And, in place of traditional validation design language, they decided to just make the submit button invisible until the input validated.
The worst part is, someone is probably quite proud of the extra day or two they spent making sure that UI was broken.
