Such résumés never have everything you want/need to see. They rely on trying to impress HR drones with bright colours while avoiding any actual content. It also fails to demonstrate written communication skills. Coherency and conciseness of text in a résumé is a good indicator of how well someone can do with e-mail, JIRA tickets, etc. I'm not an old fuddy-duddy - in fact I could be younger than you. But I've seen thousands of résumés and interviewed hundreds of candidates. There are patterns you notice, and the people who provide those kinds of résumés are generally not the kind of people you want to hire. It’s more efficient to ditch them before the interview phase.
