This is probably more down to approach. If they were building from scratch
by themselves, then I agree, productivity will be terrible; however on the
flip side, you have to remember that 80+% of the cost of software is after
the code is written and in the support phase. For our internal apps, we use
a commercial off the shelf theme and a couple of other components and stick
with those. The consistency of UI layout, responsiveness across form
factors etc is all done very cost effectively by using something like:
https://angular-material.fusetheme.com/dashboards/project - best $700
you'll ever spend.

If ease of development was our primary concern we would all be building
Microsoft Access apps.
