I know the intent is to highlight design and usability flaws, but I feel this lands very differently when the users are of the variety that may go: "I haven't read the instructions, and I don't know what I'm supposed to click to open this program. I tried the big green 1-click run button and it had your logo and such, but I don't understand why there's no room for some birds too..."
I also want to be clear that I am not disparaging these users. I have catered to this demographic before, and it's a good exercise in considering different types of accessibility needs. Me hovering while they navigate the thing is not something either of us would actually want.
