Modern UI """design""" in a nutshell. So-called designers (1) optimise for "looking good on a screenshot / promo screen", rather than for usability and aesthetics for the user, and (2) do so according to their own subjective tastes, instead of evidence-based approaches. These are to me the two major sources of the atrocious design of much of modern software.
