Ever saw airplane controls? They are ugly, and UX people have to design them too, to enable pilots to act in emergencies, to highlighr issues before emergency even happens, etc.
You are conflating visual design and UX, which is common.
The former draw pretty pictures and they can fuck off to MacOS, nobody cares.
UX is about structure: where should we put the delete button? How many clicks does it take to access your files?
