That is quite often true.. the corollary to that pithy insight is that some human beings fear stagnation so much that they try to fix things that aren't broken and ought not be interfered with.

*In this example the clever folks at Microsoft couldn't help themselves to interfere with a basic and intuitive design structure that had been in implementation for 2 decades (I'm talking about something as trivial as the spacing between the options in the cascade menu.. 
🤔 Good design even 'Perfection' itself is so much MORE than aesthetics, it's function and convenience, and minimal impedance of flow; where years of collective user experience conditions us to expect certain patterns which synergize with our well established muscle memories (it's a bit silly to suggest that some of these basic OS controls could or should be operable with our eyes closed-- but they can be! and you probably get the idea)

All Microsoft would have had to do was basically exactly what they have done, only shrink it down so it conforms to the same size and spatial arrangement as before; less is more  -- Or they could waste their designers time making an optional shell for Luddites, people who've been living in caves, or mac users who need training wheels
