or don't notice the hell-hole that is Dubai connections in the middle of the night, with half of Africa and Asia sleeping on the terminal floor all around you
Misinformation!! presumably based upon an historic experience

, perhaps you should do more travelling before generalising on the customer experience at DXB or indeed anywhere else.
For your information & indeed anyone else reading this thread the situation at DXB is, since they increased capacity with terminal 3 several years ago, no better or worse than most other international airports. What you should have noted is that there has been for ages a shortage of arrival gates available in the small hours, which add considerably to the processing time.
However your analogy has about the same impact as to stating that domestic transfers are horrendous at LHR, when we all know that things improved significantly for the better upon the opening of T5
