Are there any brands worse than Altra and Hoka? Both of these brands cater to pure fad and make clunky shoes that are difficult to run fast with. Is anything else worse? I'd say Vibram, but they're not even true running shoes.

I can think of a few that aren't that great. Many brands fight for a little space on a running stores wall these days. There are niche brands that will always exist, simply because they are different and that is their angle(Hoka and Newton being prime examples- neither even makes a true stability shoe, eliminating 60-65% of the typical audience at a running store). This does not make them bad shoes. They just cater to a specific runner.
PureFlow2. The originals were nice, but the second gen are SO BAD!
