You tend to see it a lot in "Enterprise" software (.Net and Java shops in particular). A lot of Enterprise Software Architects will reach for their favored abstractions out of practice as opposed to if they fit. Custom solution providers will build a bunch of the same out of practice.

This is something I tend to consider far, far worse than "AI Slop" in practice. I always hated Microsoft Enterprise Library's Data Access Application Block (DAAB) in practice. I've literally only ever seen one product that supported multiple database backends that necessitated that level of abstraction... but I've seen that library well over a dozen times in practice. Just as a specific example.

IMO, abstractions should generally serve to make the rest of the codebase reasonable more often than not... abstractions that hide complexity are useful... abstractions that add complexity much less so.
