Ed: The hardest thing to believe is that the people that did that work were probably quite proud of what they had done. The type of topping in your photos is very common in some parts of West Virginia where absolutely beautiful shade trees have been brutalized like that....generally because of an unfounded fear of the top breaking and smashing the house. Then you end up with self fulfilling prophesies as the large diameter branches that were cut start to rot, create weaknesses that evenutally result in the death of the tree but it could take 15 or 20 years.
