>Peak UX usability was native UIs in the 1990s and early 2000s

So much this. Give me Win2K and Office2K style applications - multiple tiled or overlapping windows, modeless views, regular menus and toolbars, context sensitive right click menus, etc. over this single pane with a hamburger button and search box crap any day of the week.

I’d argue that Mac OS (9/X) hit peak usability in the mid to late 2000s, when they were still trying to dethrone Windows.
