The point is that those words have actual meaning to actual users. You think its "useless" but like, that's just your opinion man.

Do they? What does "fun" mean here? "Beautiful"? "Easy to use"?

These are all subjective terms at best. I can call Motif beautiful and no one can say I'm wrong.

Because Motif is objectively beautiful :)

Beautiful is never objective, it is β€œin the eye of the beholder.”

Subjectivity is the point of those words. People need only agree that they are true, rather than agree upon why it is true, since it is meant to make people feel good about their decision. As for those who disagree, they don't really matter since they are not the target audience.
