I just wonder: who is responsible for the general UI/UX of Bricklink?
It has been a long time since I've seen so many inconsistencies and quirks
living together and frustrating me... The menus, the way the pages "work"
- there is not a single thing where I would instantly say: well done.

And where does this 90ies look come from?

Well, from the 90s.

I believe I would call this website's style: function over form. No one has
figured out how to update it without removing features. No one wants features
removed. Developer time is all allocated to new projects. So, the old remains.
It's wonderfully functional once you learn how to use it.
