Software and UI suffer the same problems as fashion.
Younger people see existing solutions as OLD and gravitate towards HOT new solutions. This creates change for change sake, at the cost of efficiency and usability.
Consumers do not like change unless it brings new functionality or improves usability.
As an older programmer and ops I see the trends and cringe at the loss of efficiency. Software running on resources that dwarf what we had in the 90s is giving a worse perceived performance.
