bro why are designer fashion websites so bad

From Zara's wacky model images to Supreme's washi-tape style website. We look into weird and questionable fashion websites' design choices and how it affects user experiences.

For one of my modules, we looked into conducting a "usability analysis" of popular fashion stores. This is essentially where you run a bunch of tests to determine how well a website performs regarding the user experience. If a website's crap you don't come back.
We used a scenario where a user goes to buy a jacket to test things like errors, how lost do people get on the website, think-aloud analysis where users say what they're thinking to uncover any issues, accessibility evaluation, how the website uses psychology principles to enhance the experience of shopping etc.
This is a condensed overview of some of the major findings and problems in modern fashion websites with known issues.
From a user experience point of view some of the choices make shopping more frustrating but can the same be said from a branding or visual aesthetic point of view?
Can we actually call these websites "bad"? Is the purpose they serve effective?

Note: I know that Zara is not a designer website by any means but they gave me Rick Owens vibes and were more "sophisticated" feeling in style comparable to some of the designer sites.
