I agree on all points.

The project was well made, but my read on it was that they wanted to be shown something interesting. Even if it wasn't as well made of polished, I got the impression they would have preferred something "fun" or imaginative.

Imagine your Jira card at the job:

- Title: Make something fun for the customer.

Then your performance review:

- Manager: We cannot tell you why, but you failed at your job.
