Could we bring back the UI people from that era though? Trying to standardize good software is insane but having a consistent UI with standard elements for all programs that's usable with both mouse and keyboard was kind of nice.

Very nice. There were decades of thoughtfulness and science that suddenly got replaced with "well, it looks cooler".

There was a.lot of looks cool UI back then too, but mocking it was common, and none of it was successful despite itself.

Struggling to think of any B2B apps whose design could be considered even remotely cool.
