It's not so much that they ignore it, but that everyone has a different understanding on what is important and what is the goal. The major problem of this area is that all apps and systems are their own walled garden. They all play for themselves, with barely to none interaction with anyone else. There is a reason why hyperflexible ecosystems like Microsoft Office are so successful, because while they are also walled, the garden is so big and open that it's actually a park where everyone can build their own small garden, where everyone can interact which each other.
What we need is a solid backend, which is topped by a flexible frontend, so everyone can build their own individual optimized workspace-garden. But what we have so far is people reinventing the same patterns again and again in their preferred flavors.
