It might not be fair to group the UX designers of Jetbrains with every other UX designer.
But it is a giant problem that the industry has been "simplifying" everything so mindlessly for so many years that today my iOS device gave me a legitimate prompt that just didn't contain enough information to decide about at all.
Something along the lines of "Change in app administration [...] will you allow [...] to administer Gmail [...] Your data will be administered."
Now tell me: is this thing going to administer my private mails? 2 factor verification? (Yes, Google often use their mail app for that.) etc etc.
At this point it is utterly meaningless: the only correct thing to do with such a vague prompt is to say no until an explanation has been given.
But I can surely imagine UX developers patting themselves and each others on the back for such a brilliant simple design.
To be fair, good UX designers exist, but everytime I hear about ux-designers near any of my products I get a little scared :-)
