>I have no qualms with handmade

Something being handmade doesn't make me like or dislike it any more than brand. I don't judge it on whether it's hand made or not.
Brand construction quality is nothing special the large majority of the time. If you're sewing at home you can do better than that, you don't have to cut corners or limit yourself to a certain level of quality.

>That's why I enjoy seeing even the monstrous creations that often pop up as they mean that someone is, at least, trying
If someone is trying and is willing to learn then I'm definitely supportive of that. My problem with those monstrous creations is that -there's too many of them in the fb groups, -they're not necessarily representing progress, and -most of the people in the group are beginners. Even worse, -a lot of people don't progress past the ugly beginner phase regardless of how many years they do it. Possible causes; they have incredibly low standards regarding construction, they like the tacky garbage they make.

There was someone in one of the sewing fb groups who claimed to be sewing for 15. None of what she posted in the lolita sewing groups was lolita even using the widest sense of the term. Her finished projects had a lot of problems regarding construction. Stuff was just wonky as hell. She picked the brightest most tacky fabrics for them too.
