It's due to fashion. New tech trend comes in and companies want to use it to differentiate their products as newer so they seem more valuable. When the tech ages and becomes just another commodity the usage settles down. When blue LEDs came out every hardware company put blue LEDs everywhere but that's no longer the case as they're not fashionable. Another example is glass-look UI buttons from the first iPhones.
- AlexAndScripts 2y agoI got an email from Microsoft recently with that funny thin font used for headers. It reminded me that that was a trend around 2016 or so. The headers would have thinner font strokes than the body text, despite being substantially larger. I remember that around that time (I was quite young) I was putting it in all my attempts at websites (all hideous, even at the time) and I thought it looked really cool. Funny the way trends go. In the case of the email it was clear that it just hadn't been updated with the times.
