I have never been to the Getty, but from my experience going to plenty of other museums it has always seemed like getting "lost" was the whole point. You can remove yourself from the real world for a bit and have total focus on the exhibition.

Designers should tend to put emphasis on beauty, otherwise they would just be called engineers. I'm not a designer either, but I think the secret sauce is convincing users (of hardware, software, no matter) that form followed function. Ive is most certainly a designer so the changes he made, e.g. removing ports, were driven by aesthetic rather than function. Without the checks and balances named Steve Jobs these were allowed to ship, and is a reason why Apple is getting a bad rap.
