I'm starting to see comments like this in a new light after using some primarily AI-coded apps the past few weeks. They are a lot like apps that were built by hundreds of developers/product people over years and years, in the worst ways.

Inconsistent design patterns from page to page, half baked features, inconsistent documentation (but BOY is there ever a lot of it!), NIH ui component libraries that don't act like you'd expect. All that fun stuff.

It's like they speedran the worst parts of enterprise apps.

True but they wouldn't have existed otherwise. If they're end user apps, users generally don't care about the code because they never see it.
