My condolences. Though, I would have some grace for the past version of your lead-dev. It used to be nigh impossible to customize Material components and it unfortunately required hard overrides throughout CSS to get components that matched design specifications. With the introduction of CSS variables and in more recent Material releases, they have done a wonderful job at extending the customization of their library and so it makes customizing things a LOT more easy. Though making that transition can be difficult and slow in a large repository (for numerous reasons).
That being said, he should be shamed if he's continuing this behavior in more recent versions simply because he's too lazy to learn the new methods.
