You can tell the modern UI designer has completely lost the plot.
They’re more concerned about a cohesive, unified, consistent design rather than harnessing the power that each individual platform has to offer and designing around that.
When your concern is visual consistency, you’re letting go of individual platform strengths. So, are you designing for yourself (as the designer) or the end user?
Sounds like they’re ok with the lowest common denominator for the end product.
