I want to generally echo this sentiment. But for a slightly different reason.

I think the "dynamic-ism" of many interfaces has gone too far, therefore losing the predicability. Some interfaces try to guess what I am supposed to do next and it is correct maybe 60% of the cases.

But even when it is correct it actually slows me down because I am constantly second-guessing the interface and double-checking that what I am about to press is the one I actually wanted.

I wish I could rely much more on muscle memory and that things re-open where I left them. Like a window from a folder _always_ opening exactly where it was when I closed it previously. Or the homekit buttons on my home iOS pull-down screen not rearranging themselves randomly.

I absolutely agree-

I want there to be places for things, a fairly rigid system so I can depend on things being in their place, not having to constantly "try to understand what's happening now"
