I mean this dead seriously: People complain about the abstractions like "Monad" in Haskell, but I'm yet to see anything as abstract and difficult to reason about as a decorator around a facade delegating to an implementation of a factory factory of something probably producing a concrete instance of some other pattern monstrosity.
Definitely, but a point should be made that design patterns themselves are not a bad thing, quite the contrary, actually. It's overuse of design patterns that should be a crime. I came across some pretty difficult to understand abstractions, but fortunately nothing like the monstrosity that you described.
