Welcome to the new era of client computing. In this computing epoch, we are 100% devoted to making life easier for a hypothetical 105 year old illiterate caveman who just emerged from his cave for the first time to buy a computer.

It may appear that UI designers are just working in ivory towers, pushing arbitrary and capricious changes down upon you. When you find yourself thinking that way, just think of the poor caveman.

Exactly. Now compare to this:

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

That is the perfect antithesis to Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, the list goes on.
