The responsibility of an UI/UX team is to provide different options to answer a particular UX/UI requirement.
Instead of working on equally good multiple options , they make option A super cool & make option B,C,. totally pathetic, so that the people reviewing the options, all heap up quick towards A & scream. "Lets go with A!, A.A..A!!"
But when the UX team provides equally good alternate options i.e A,B,C, it is usually followed by a loong debate. The UX guys usually team up and have a pre-conceived idea that a particular option is the best and think that non-UX guys, even including the reviewers as dumb folks without any UX sense.
So to cut down the lengthy arguments with any non-UX guys, they've started following this A,b,c strategy now .
Now I've started spotting out this pattern, And I've replied them back. "A is all fine, but can't we get a chance to see a review-worthy B,C"?

Here, we don't leave the UX/UI in the hands of those who do that type of thing "professionally".
The only way to make it work right is to have the developer force the cretins users into not screwing things up too badly. All the fun/pretty in the world won't make up for elephanted data.
We'd never UX/UI anything like a ribbon bar.

We all do it. We put more work into our favored approach than we do the alternative(s). The best way to mitigate the problem is to have a team (or person) assigned to each idea, and (monetarily) reward the team whose idea wins the review.
Of course, each idea would have to be weighed against appropriate metrics, such as ease of use, upstream or downstream impact on already implemented code, downstream impact on code yet to be designed, and things like that.

In general, this has brought more problems in our teams. People started fighting over the decisions to award a particular team/individual's ideas. Later this moved into some "points" systems. So that people all forgets why & how someone got those points and dont start any fights on table right after a particular announcements were made. Later , towards the end of the year, they'd be able to redeem it as a voucher or something.

Pretty common practice, human psychology and all that. But I like the idea of employing that to cut down on meeting time, personal opinion (UI/UX is all opinion, IMO ), arguments, etc.
I wish our candidates for office had this clarity. But no. It's a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h

I blame the rise of the HTML/JavaScript/CSS UI for this.
Back when our only options consisted of desktop apps with labels, text fields, buttons, radio buttons, listviews, tree controls, toolbars, status bars, tooltips and little more, our design options were much more limited, and as a result we didn't waste much time on UIs, and got things done.
Everybody knew what to expect, and we didn't run into the usability issues of "modern" UIs that are now finally being acknowledged (I wish I could find the link to that article from just a few days ago).

That's the one.
"Modern", "Metro", "flat"...it's all the same to me. All in the name of touch screens. It's all Steve Jobs' fault.
