I'll keep saying it; UI/UX is a fundamentally flawed field for a number of intersecting reasons, most of which boil down to not really distinguishing between when it's doing engineering, when it's doing psychology, and when it's doing fashion.
When it's merely doing fashion, fine, be honest about it. But when it's doing engineering/psychology -- the huge problem is that there's no skin-in-the-game incentives. It can harm people without fear of repercussion, and so it does.
I will take it seriously when someone is fined or thrown in jail for harming people through, e.g. dark patterns. This should happen, soon.
