As a counter, I think what isn’t pointed out here is that minimalistic design is important to increase engagement. Intricate, pretty, interesting things are also exhausting after a while. Minimal designs do a good job at allowing users to compartmentalize and ignore without too much difficulty.

To think that today's style finally achieved some objective progress about engagement and exhaustion is just post hoc speculation. Minimal design is itself getting exhausting, and there are a number of styles that are coming in to challenge it, including intentionally garish designs that nostalgically call back to the Myspace/Geocities aesthetic that many young designers are fascinated by.
