I always find these kinds of articles, as this one, to have too little examples of the message they are trying to convey. It makes it feel as if the writer came up with the subject first and when they tried to find examples to back up their idea they couldn't find any. Maybe writers should then forget about their article or bench it for later, so that they can gather examples over a longer period of time. It just makes your message so much more compelling when you can show the reader what you mean than asking them to take your word on it.

Probably because "software ux design" is a new field and there are no standards for academic discourse, anyone can just start typing and write an article which gets accolades.

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of vintage food ads from the 60s/70s:

Just because someone tells you what is good for you / your users, doesn't mean it's true.
