This is a certified 'Front end designed by the developers' moment. Sometimes frontend and UI people have a purpose

I used one of those years ago when working at one of the ‘big 4’ (and I think they’ve still got it). Made logical sense from the developer’s perspective but was a pain in the arse to use as an interface
