They don't seem unintuitive to me, maybe because I grew up with 1.0. these youngsters are creating buttons without outlines, links that are grey and not underlined, checkboxes that slide and sometimes have no other indication that they're on or off, and many other unholy idioms. Web 1.0 was glorious.
To clarify, by unintuitive I mean we don't think of doing things in a simple way today as we're used to more complicated interaction patterns and layouts.
When we open a Web 1.0 it's intuitive to see and browse. In fact, often more intuitive than modern Web. It reminds us... that it's "OK" to keep it simple. And this is a reminder we need frequently in a world of excess.
Oh.. well I guess it's just me then :) I always try to use a simple native component before replacing it with something more complex if the old thing genuinely doesn't work for some use cases.
