Yep, understand this completely. Love that talk, too.
What I've pinned it to is a cultural problem in the JavaScript realm: everybody wants to impress everybody else about how smart they are, and in the process of doing so, creates convoluted mazes. As a side-effect, motivation dips and then quality control falls in concert, leading to an "at least it works" mentality.
That's my curmudgeon speculation/observation, at least.
