Yeah. Most WP developers and Wordpress itself agree with GP, but it is businesses asking for six-figures websites that require a designer to get made, despite developers and Wordpress saying the contrary.

I've seen it happening a thousand times: businesses asking for extremely intricate websites (despite better advice), only to fail to deliver the content they needed room for and having to hire copywriters for fluff. At some point they don't care about money anymore, it's all about the thrill of the bike shed.
