Sure, we eventually react to ubiquitous issues like blue LEDs, but it's been 2 decades since blue LEDs were new/fancy and it's just barely popping up now. It's very reactive and very slow.

Just look at microwave interfaces. They haven't meaningfully changed in function in decades, and yet +30s buttons often don't start the microwave, power level can rarely be set after starting and all sorts of basic responsiveness details.
