Google/Android have been pushing major UI changes every other version. Why? Who knows.
I just gave a Moto G to my mother hoping that upgrading from an Android device to another would smooth the transition but - among other things - she couldn't find how to operate the new Google camera (a primary function for her).
Why? Because there's this "trend" of hiding all the GUI with gestures and stuff, despite the fact that displays are growing and there's more screen real-estate than ever.
And it's worse that some of these changes are subtle enough that it may even take you a few days to realize why you are so frustrated with your seemingly same phone: buttons have disappeared, borders removed, contrast decreased.
Ultimately I feel there's very little respect for the wider audience by today's "pioneers". Here in our bubble we all love novelty, new solutions, new paradigms, but the wider market doesn't care about this. They just want to keep doing what took them a long time to learn to do.
