Same for ACM. I think it’s good as it’s easier to read. But sometimes I still write names (e.g. as Mueller et al. points out, the color blue is actually red [666]), to highlight something. But that’s maybe for 5 out of 100 sources.

The company is still worth over 100 billions. They do something right.

Otherwise I agree with you. It’s almost hilarious to see fail after fail (as long as you are not in the plane).
