Question about the way people are using pocket hole screws now

I keep seeing guys on jobs around Portland using 2 1/2 inch coarse thread screws for everything, even on 3/4 inch plywood. It's a mess because the points blow out the back and the joint gets wobbly. I learned the hard way on a built-in bookcase project that you need to match the screw length to the material, usually about an inch and a half for that thickness. Has anyone else had to fix a project where someone used screws that were way too long?

That's just how people do everything now, right?
