Personal preference but does anyone else not like material design concepts?

I think it's mostly ok on Android (except floating buttons), but bad on websites (even Google's own). And that mobile-like dumbification when websites look like my monitor is giant handset and most features and controls are removed as "unneeded for typical handset tapper" (most pages related to account management on Google, new Google photos with especially primitive controls).

I prefer previous design of Android (4.0-4.2) with slightly retrofuturistic aesthetics.

Honest question from a non-web dev. Are these things actually used for real working websites? Are there any examples other than landing pages and blog posts?

YeeeHaw...! Don't forget in some cultures women cannot have their faces shown in public spaces (burka?). I respect that, but in general we should mine such culture sensibilities before posting something.

I've observed that often the people screaming "respect my right to do " are the ones who are intolerant to my right to think is wrong/stupid and say so.

You see this particularly with religions who think that belief in something unprovable should give them special rights.
