I don't think sensors are "winning".
I probably could fall into that category; I use Gold Wave v.4.51 for aduio editing (instead of, say, Audacity) because I've been using it since year 2000, and I know where things are.
The thing with modern software is that it tends to update and move things around. Things don't only have different semantics, but also buttons in different places.
The downward spiral of UI/UX is not due to users, sensors or not. It stems entirely from the disregard for ones.
And don't even get me started on latency, which is a whole another can of worms.
