I get that, but I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way.
And as I mentioned, the flat style hides discoverability, so I think it offsets the usability gains from making the UI appear less cluttered.
So sure, maybe extra real estate means we can allow UI elements to breathe a bit, but keep the 3D look on elements that can be interacted with. Buttons should still be buttons. Text should be text. Interactable buttons should not be merely an icon or text.
