Aside: Some people pay tons of money for software due to addictive game design, social and UX patterns. But I agree. Building good UX is hard, iterative work and requires a connection of right and left brain thinking via communication or generalists. Graphic, UI, UX and game designers are typically not as engaged with open source as programmers and engineers. Is this a cultural issue or is it inherent? Ultimately any given UI is a concretion, but I've noticed a strong trend to abstraction in these fields. Design Systems/Language, Design Thinking and so on. I mean the term "UX" is in of itself an abstraction. And the digital tools that designers use today are much more powerful and varied than just a decade ago. Maybe it is a matter of time until there is more engagement in open source from the design world.
