Exactly. The product design marketing mantra of “move fast and break things” is a plague putting all proven knowledge behind in the name of innovation for the sake of innovation (or more in the lines of VC scam, dark patterns UX and customer exploitation ). Professional design thinking is data based and when data is proving use case stability outcomes, you improve with iterative steps and optimisation.
Today UX/UI Design is treated as decoration and the main audiences are corporations or software developers.
You can check MBUX as an example of clutter, complexity and bad taste visuals. Just another outsourced design job in the name of corporate profit over product design.
Could it be because it was really good?
