I feel the same way about Google's design and development principles. What the fuck happened?

You mean how they heavily researched their latest redesign of Android? https://design.google/library/expressive-material-design-goo...

  • > M3 Expressive designs were overwhelmingly rated higher for attributes such as “energetic,” “emotive,” “positive vibe,” “creative,” “playful,” and “friendly.”

    Heavy research indeed

  • I can't tell if you're joking. M3 Expressive is godawful and throws away so many hard-won lessons in UX R&D.

  • I spent some time navigating through the linked page.

    I don't doubt designers spent a lot of time researching it. It still reads like an incredible amount of carefully crafted bullshit.

    The more the design of things "evolve", the more I appreciate designs that simply don't.
