It seems UI has stopped being a science and started being middle-management: Everybody must justify their position and promotion by completing some very visible change in the product, even when the only practical changes are bad ones.
When you see it all lined up, it's pretty clear. It does make sense though. Computers were first viewed as utilities, but now they're more entertainment machines. Makes sense that the UI would degrade away from utility towards pure style.
