Oh I agree (for you). Some of these things are audience specific, so,
like with ANY design, you need to put yourself in the shoes of the
audience the sites are aimed for and view with an open mind. Just
because YOU cannot read the site doesn't make it Bad necessarily. I
bet you can't read a site that is written in Japanese. I can. Does
that make the site bad?

How can you be passionate about those things, and not good design?
Accessibility and Usability are nothing without Design. It all comes
under "user experience"; what experience do you want your user to have
while they use your site?
