Does anyone think creativity and originality are losing today? They have gone down by alot.

Like someone else pointed out in websites, it's pretty much gotten so bland. Same with a lot of things to be honest. Websites, OSes (The dreaded metro look from Windows 8/8.1 and 10 to name the main examples.) Logos, businesses and restaurants, (Why does everything have to look like a coffee shop now?) Getting back to the main subject though, the absence of legacy themes in Windows is a bit dumb. I know you can add them back yourself, but I'm meaning where you can use it right off the bat in Windows without having to rely on third party tools. As well as the constant UWP versions of apps such as Notepad, Calculator, Personalization, and soon even Control Panel. It's okay to use the original versions, we don't need everything to feel like it might a smartphone app.

Notice how Notepad windows still resize when explorer.exe isn't running.

One thing that appears to be the trend, is the use of faint colors (or generally poor contrast themes) in 'modern' guis, like on W10 and 11.
And some web pages use light blue text on white background. What happened to crisp colors?
Also other software, like Blender (which I'd like to learn to use, but it has a steep learning curve because of its UI)seems to follow the same pattern. Although there is a version of it that has more icons than the original one (Bforartists), they (icons) are mostly gray scale.
I'm aware, that using key shortcuts instead of clicking icons is more cost effective in the business world. But does that leave any room for the project to 'take a breath'?
I've watched some Youtube videos, where pros explain how 'outdated' this or that software is, if it has more traditional ui. There seems to be aggressive attitude toward anything that doesn't fit in their world view/budget. Just cold calculation. Although this day, there is more computer capability to use than ever, creativity appears to avoid such supreme power.
No wonder that the world keeps on flattening in every ways.
