I personally think it's a bit of a fallacy to equal structure with less creativity.

Look at Calatrava https://duckduckgo.com/?q=calatrava&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images

Further, you can't design something like the Burj Khalifa without creativity

Maybe the line goes where you are risking peoples life or not, maybe somewhere else. It still makes me sad that you equal programming with chaos. But that is very context driven. The drive for new software, new interfaces, new tech overall naturally breeds less oversight and less structure naturally ofc. But it doesn't have to be that way, nor should it be if you ask me
