I see this as well, the sort of commoditization of the self which ends up becoming more of a character. Ooh that's a good way to put it. And yeah, there's a time and a place for that, too, it's just that it's become kind of hard to find places that are NOT designed to favor that.
That said, there are definitely some me-specific reasons why I like DW in particular. I am a slllowwww communicator, in general, and I don't really have to make first-time introductions (which I hate) very often here, because mostly people already know who I am from AO3. So I'm biased because DW caters to some of my specific quirks. But -- okay, web design is way outside my wheelhouse, but I can imagine you'd have some gripes, lol.
