    Sunk cost fallacy is real, but sometimes ambitious pursuits accidentally end up making the world a better place.

    Those are good reasons. To add to that: 1) Companies are still paying for office space right now, even though people aren't using it. If they reduce their physical spaces in the fu…

    That's a good point. Often when I see UX this bad, it's also usually the result of siloed teams or designers working on individual parts without thinking about the whole experience…
