It's a bit off topic this. But:

one main reason things get even more unusable by the quarter-year, is 
that the designers are conflating "simple to use" with "looks simple".

They are intellectually unable to grok "simple to use", because they are 
primarily selected for their ability to follow and to some degree be in 
the forefront of trends of popularity, secondly for their ability to put 
down hard repetitious work and work long hours, and third for their 
ability to sometimes be slightly creative as long as it is within 
established popular trends; they're not selected for intelligence and 
critical thinking, which runs counter to the three main criteria, i.e. 
would effectively be a disability for them.

Ultimately this depends on the consumers lacking a sense of quality and 
rewarding conformity and whatever is noticeable without a thought, like 
simple eye candy.

And they do.

Regarding "without a thought", an example a few months ago from the 
local grocery store: in the meat disk one slot was full of steaks, none 
sold, with price shown per kg., high, and the adjacent slot was nearly 
empty, with just a few steaks left, with price shown per steak, a much 
LOWER NUMBER  --  it was a best-seller, but it was the exact same price 
and the exact same product as the steaks that didn't sell.
