No, this is the fault of a company and industry with way too much money and not knowing what to do with it.

So they hired a bunch of artists who would otherwise be carving wood in a decrepit loft somewhere after taking half a mushroom cap. These people now decide how computers should operate.

Now we have entire teams of people trying to turn your computer into an avant-garde art piece.

Not only that, we have teams of people that very obviously (based on OP) dont talk to each other.
