Because UX people are often completely lost in the fog of their own "brilliance".
Just observe the new task switcher on the Android P preview.
Where before you hit a button (either on-screen on fixed depending on the OEM design) and got a list of previously used apps, now you have to swipe from the center to the edge at the bottom of the screen to flip though them.
- ksk 8y agoSometimes UX people design the UX to wow the people who (1) control their paycheck (2) review their work externally (3) appreciate UX theory/trends/etc. No different than a programmer using a needlessly complex algorithm to impress people on the internet. I remember MS word putting in the 'word count' feature for the article authors who reviewed the software. That feature is a high priority item for the writers and people who need their work to fit in a certain constraint, but not for most users.
