It happened, but not as often as you'd think. In 2017 I was arguing with someone that the back button should work and URLs should be obvious in a fairly large project and they said "people are used to the back button not working - like a bank website".

That was the "URLs should be obvious" bit - sorry, it was a bit buried.
