The existing templating system works for the book list not the single book view. The single books view has its own set of customization settings. But I doubt you bothered to take the time to look for them. And just FYI the current interface is implemented purely using web technologies on top af a JSON API. And yet, I have noticed no horde of people with HTML skills volunteering their efforts to work on it.
You keep saying that the interface looks like it comes form the 90s as if that is some kind of insult. I find that highly amusing. Not to mention that you also complain that the interface is optimized for touch. But lets not worry about small things like consistency in our complaints shall we?
Anyway, I can tell you that you are going to get nowhere with your approach. You want to criticise something, do it constructively. At a minimum, remember that design is all about trade-offs. Acknowledge the upside of tradeoffs as well as the downside if you want to have a hope of not being dismissed out of hand. And dont make demands of other people's time unless you are willing to at least contribute some of yours beyond complaining.
