It's not noticed much, but information architecture based on business definitions instead of user needs.
You can plug in pretty much anything into that sentence. Business bullshit defines almost everything, because people getting paid to evangelize business bullshit are in charge of everything.
Place I work Is doing an overhall on our app ui right now. They gave us a beta build to play eith as we use the damn thing as well as supported it.
It was shit square buttons down the left side and nothing else which would have been fine if the plan wasn't make it preview to our customers.
They pulled the preview when we pointed out all the day to day stuff was all behind 1 button meaning out of the whole screen about 90x90 pixels was actually usefull.
The number of times we point out holes in the design is scary and always has the same conversation pattern
Can't do x because of y
Y wasn't given to us as a requirement

........
