No, I've noticed the same.

When Nano Banana works well, it really works -- but 90% of the time the results will be weird or of poor quality, with what looks like cut-and-paste or paint-over, and it also refuses a lot of reasonable requests on "safety" grounds. (In my experience, almost anything with real people.)

I'm mostly annoyed, rather than impressed, with it.

Ok this answers my question to the nature of the page. As in: Are these examples that show results you get when using certain inputs and prompts. Or are these impressive lucky on offs.

I was a bit surprised to see quality. Last time I played around with image generation is a few months back and I’m more in the frustration camp. Not to say that I believe some people with more time and dedication at their hand can tickle better results.

		From having used Nano Banana over the past few days, I think that they're extremely cherry-picked, and that each one is probably the result of multiple (probably a dozen+) attempts.
