Yes, there is plenty of work to do.
Tree-based classifiers always have the reputation of being "explainable". As you note this isn't always as simple as it should be.
In the unsupervised space I really like plotting dendrograms on hierarchical clustering. There's an excellent example in the recent DeepMoji paper[1] where they show how similar emojis cluster together AND how you can truncate the hierarchy at different depths to get capture different ranges of emotion.
It's laughable when people insist that DARPA are foolish for funding work in this area.
