    Why are YOU being obtuse here?

    No company with an in-house design team will start trawling marketplaces to spend money on PLACEHOLDERS.

    And it’s not like the designers “didn’t want” to make the textures, you donut - it’s that resources need to be allocated, and making minor textures falls on very tail end of the priority list.

    At which point they probably had one designer generate the needed placeholders using AI, to ensure they’re good enough for placeholders, and called it a day.

    I’ll ask you one better - why are you trying to force companies to go out of their way to spend money? When digital design tools hit the market, would you have been standing in line telling companies to instead hire out actual manual art instead of working with digital tools, if they didn’t have the required in-house resources?
