What is considered as good design depends a lot on the zeitgeist and culture. For example in Asia (e.g. China, but also Japan) there is a rather different taste what is considered as a well-designed website:

There's no such thing as "low-effort ports to VR" as you are describing. When you model a 3D object for flat screens, scale is really not that much of a concern whereas in VR the player's immersion might be completely ruined if something feels just slightly off.

Interestingly, there are some cultural differences in web design, Japanese for example expect a cluttered website:

College students can always major in CS. With the down economy, personally I would find it more inspiring if they gave away some to people trying to find new careers.
