Skilled programmers working on boring stuff like office. Most programmers today don't have the skills they think they do and would find working on something like Office boring.
I don't do anything to compensate because I don't view it as a deficiency. If anything, I'm often asking/telling people to slow down. Spewing a bunch of half baked word vomit isn't impressive to me. I've done fine in life, I'm satisfied with the outcome of my approach.
It used to be like this in the US too. I’m still uncomfortable returning things because that’s how it was when I grew up. Walmart and e-commerce are when this all changed.

If there's anything to be sure of, it's that this is bound to happen. The core ideas will always have staying power, but the current implementations are already seen as a silly by large swaths of us who don't disagree with the core ideas. I suspect the future will judge social mores from this time period much more harshly than a silly fad though.
