It feels like there are many unrelated terrible reasons for "UX" being a clusterfudge. "Webified" UX and "data-driven" UX are of course terrible. Data scientists in these fields don't come from the right background to know or care about causal analysis, so whatever is measured is not UX efficiency. But there's other issues, unrelated to that. Computers are complex and there are certain tasks we do not have to do very often. Back in the day, the consistency allowed me to know how to do most things. I find this most notable in Win10. Back in the day, I could intuit many things, for example how to get something in and around my task bar to work as I want. Another example is to fiddle with audio settings, bluetooth or other settings stuff in general. Today, I have to "try around" instead. There are two control panels, plus that task bar control panel. Sometimes you need to right click somewhere and choose an inconsistently named item to get to the right setting screen, sometimes it's better to search. Sometimes the setting is available in the "task slider" screen. I always just thought it's me getting old. Because that's how old people use a computer. Perhaps it's rather the UX disaster.
