Another part of this equation is that fantasy interfaces control fantasy devices: robots, star cruisers, semi-AI nanobots.

Most SaaS problems are boring as all hell. Move some files around, ensure legal compliance, leave an audit trail. Good luck making that shit epic.

This. 99% of B2B Dashboards solve trivial problems. If I need to filter by a boolean, the cleanest possible solution is something like an input field. If you need to create a "Clean" modern interface of the Shuttle Control Cockpit, it's likely that your dashboard will need to morph into something that resembles more a Fantasy UI.

I think here by "the cleanest possible solution" you mean "the simplest to make without any need to understand the actual underlying business". With that approach, 99% of B2B dashboards will be boring, trivial problems re-done again and again, but also crappy UIs with which actual users struggle.
