Mobile first touch friendly design dominates designer minds. It looks modern and fresh. Desktop friendly UI unfortunately looks dated, old-school and rarely used nowadays even for desktop only apps.

I predict that in a couple years, someone will produce an app that uses old "dated" UI styles and people will suddenly praise it for being clear and intuitive.

Maybe I'm just dreaming.
