I'd rather deliver a distracting, cluttered resume than a boring one.
I similarly agree with you, except that these poorly-visualized resumes would hurt if applying for datavis jobs. Why would I hire someone if they cannot even communicate their experience effectively?
They convey almost no information about the applicant, and they're surely worse at communicating info than a resume in Garamond that reads "worked with SQL, Python, and CSS/HTML/JS for 2 years."
