I find it pretty funny when designers have it in their mandate to make a number look as cool as possible. You see it on dashboards or all kinds of things like this. I think it would be a good design challenge. Make a decimal number look cool. No other constraints.
See, that’s a real problem with modern day design: it’s all about making things look cool instead of just no-bullshit functional.

Is any person looking at that “live dashboard” as an actionable data source?

False dichotomy, this an advertisement, would it be on the front page if it was just bare HTML instead of a pander-to-your-audience retro look? Good design can establish identity without totally ruining the UX.
This is why people need to stop using the “false dichotomy” card in every discussion. It’s so devoid of rigor in thinking and is always used lazily to frame another person’s comment in a paradigm that it wasn’t intended to be framed.
