What does "the cloud" have to do with anything in this context? That is so utterly orthogonal to how good a UI/UX is.

Cloud services expose their UI/UX through a web-browser will all of the pain points of running a stateful blob of javascript on the client, talking through a mostly stateless protocol to a "mess of stuff" that aims for eventual consistency in the backend.
The old folks, who are retired and dying according to this thread, mostly grew up using local applications with direct control between UI/UX and action.
