You might be, but I'm certainly not. Every site I design takes all of the above into consideration, but that doesn't mean I use it. Those designers who add the above "because I can" are lost in a world of their own ego. At the end of the day it's the message that matters not the medium.
In addition to that corporations who have glossy bruchures, full page adverts in Cosmo and TV adverts have the budget for all of your "cutting edge media". However, 99% of businesses that both want and need a website do not. I work with what the client can afford, not with what he might like. Reality is a great leveller.

You're not comparing like for like.
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
