Material Design v1 cracked it. It was simple to implement, simple to understand and simple to use. Minimal overheads with a clear content-first approach.

"It's time to move beyond “clean” and “boring” designs to create interfaces that connect with people on an emotional level."

I don't want websites and apps to connect with me on an emotional level. I want to turn my phone/computer on, use the app/program to achieve what I'm trying to do, and turn it off again, so I can get back to the real world.

I don't entirely agree. This mentality is what leads to brutalist architecture offices that suck out the soul of all who work in them. People "live" and "work" in their apps and should feel alive while they do that. (That said, I don't think this new material style is necessarily the way to achieve that...)
