Right, that’s literally what cargo culting means.

It’s making a surface level imitation of behaviors, without understanding the underlying reasons, hoping for the same effect.

So maybe Jobs might have made experiences that looked superficially similar to this, but he would’ve done it in a manner that actually understood the customer.

How meta. It appears I’m guilty of cargo culting the phrase “cargo cult”, since I superficially use it to describe really any modern form of tech fad following, all in an attempt to be hip with “modern” terms.
