This industry is already elitist and exclusive enough without adding yet another financial barrier to entry in the form of a design license. The only purpose this will serve is to keep design middle class.
With low-skilled jobs being eliminated by automation, careers like the ones we're all lucky enough to have need to become more accessible. Not less.
Imagine clicking a link and ending up on one of these 404 pages where you have to do mental work for 15 seconds just to figure out whether you've even arrived on the right page or not.
It's fun, but I wonder how many people would actually know what it even was, and whether to click it, if you didn't say it was a radio button in the title?
I don't think this is broken at all - it seems like a good application of hostile design.

It's energetic, fun, with big, beautiful photography showcasing the food. Visually isolating the ingredients is a nice touch.
All this is ruined by the user-hostile scroll behaviour. It just makes it stressful and frustrating to use.
