Mobile-first explains quite a bit. I don't have anything against mobile, but unfortunately the trend has been that "if it works on mobile, its good everywhere else". Hence the move towards "discoverable" interfaces, which makes sense when you don't have much screen real estate. But when you do, I don't think there's anything wrong and labelled buttons, not just icons. And Bring Back the Bezel!
