It's a combination of whimsical requirements from PMs and designers, plus FOMO and resume-driven development among developers. None of which have anything to do with actual end-user needs.

There's also a Large Corp dynamic, where to maintain consistent user experience across the product portfolio, a common UI platform is built. The platform is then mainly driven by the requirements of the most dynamically interactive applications, leading to a complexity creep - even though most of the products could be simple CRUD web pages.

"resume-driven development"
