Pretty much all safety regulations
Every safety rule is written in blood but due to no one getting hurt (because of said rules) people begin to think the rules aren’t necessary.
It’s the same concept with preventative measures like vaccines. Vaccines worked to the point we had an entire generation grow up in a world without the most common forms of debilitating diseases and as a result we now have anti-vaxxers everywhere.

UX/UI. To be specific input forms. Had to get past a captcha for an appointment. I have no idea how the site handled captchas but couldn’t get past it. No indications if it had to be capitalized, with or without spaces etc… Just gave up after trying for a while.

Sound effects or music on TV and movies. Cleaners. Machine maintenance.
That powdery black finish on computer PSU’s.
Localization. It’s not as easy as simply translating from one language to another!

Done…less than stellar, you get “All your base are belong to us, someone set us up the bomb.”
