Ergonomic and usability considerations are rarely valued because they do not have a cell on a spreadsheet. What is measured tends to improve. What does not tends to worsen. Programmers have been driven to obsess about features to the exclusion of other criteria (security being a category with many examples) will not have had the freedom to experiment and come up with easier, more consideration workflows and interactions. This also means that they are not practiced at it. It follows that so-called (in the article) unicorn programmers are rare, perhaps because the environments in which they can get better are rare.
