Interesting, I think it boils down to the fact that the Bloomberg Terminal interface is not intended for the general public. I think simplifying its UI would be like forcing an experience programmer to use something like SourceTree rather than command-line git: it just wouldn't work for them, they would lose the "muscle memory" acquired over years of typing away commands on a keyboard. On a different note, I am quite wary of some people within the open source community who seem to love their esoteric and unnecessarily complicated UIs.
