Correct. I remember traditional UI, watching users do things behind 1-way mirrors and grinding irritating and inconclusive statistics to try to get to a better interface. This used to be a speciality.

Now all you have to do is stick a bone through your beard and pronounce yourself a "UX Guru" and off you go.

UX to me is finding a compromise between designers who want it as sparse as possible and users who want "homer cars".
