It is just inconsiderate!
I know some countries provide grid on passport pages, supposedly to help "targeting" - but as far as I noticed it does not work.

Not my experience. Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Australia, Estonia all very good at making optimal use of space on visa pages of passport. Indonesia, USA and Canada are worse, especially one US officer at LAX who managed to put one stamp across two pages.
