Many implementations do suffer from ground-bounce and crosstalk, so I agree this can be a problem. I have found that designs in the field of consumer electronics are frought with these problems, even from large multinational companies. Many of the mods that I have done in the past repair these types of problems.
I implement many of the isolation techniques you mention in my own products, so I dont have this problem. My circuits behave closer to the ideal. Separate power feeds, isolated return traces, effective decoupling and termination/impedance matching etc..
This is simply ground-bounce and crosstalk between traces and with power supply. With proper circuit design and board layout, these can effectively be minimized so that they are inaudible.
