When you target the general population, it's sadly more profitable to design for exploitable, manipulateable, lowest common denominator. You can only have nice things if your consumer base isn't generally morons and you are therefore somewhat protected from predation by unscrupulous companies.
The world would be a slightly better place if everyone had some form of engineering background. Not necessarily software nor mechanical, just an inkling of making things more efficient, more logical, and more usable.
