> I don't think [a preference for very brutalist, utilitarian designs] happens quite as much in other fields, like architecture, cooking or construction. One example in another field is automotive interface design. Specifically, how one selects a gear for the transmission, controls the temperature and entertainment systems, etc. Automakers have tried different things ranging from touchscreen control, to dials and other innovative ways to select a particular transmission gear. But there are people who prefer the classic interface choices like dials and levers to handle these functions because people have muscle memory and don't have to look at the control to determine what they need to do in order to use the controls effectively.
