Whenever I see a modern built environment that looks like "fake" culture/personality facade on what's obviously a globalized-industrial-process output pattern, I do a perspective shift to "this would be impressive inside a starship"

Premium mediocre is just one example of the resultant aesthetic, and decorated sheds in architecture terms are just one piece of the vocabulary. Nowhere is this clearer than in little towns created specifically to serve cruise ships and operated by cruise lines.

Also, more specialisation -> more layers of abstraction -> visible surface has less & less to do w/ underlying implementation -> 'hacking' is increasingly unviable. Compare ease of tinkering w/ classic vs modern car, or salvaging a piece of wood vs wood veneer over chipboard.
