UI has really gotten down in the last couple of years.

    Reduced information density
    Abuse of paradigms we learned in the past (e.g. blue button to accept, links for decline) to make us accept harmful settings
    Notifications for just about everything
    Popups inside of the app
    Adding buttons for functionality that's not included in your subscription, which show the nagscreen once you click on it
    UI upgrades which add nothing (see all above)
    Removal of agency. I don't want the upgrade, nor do I want to be reminded in 3 days. 

A changing UI sounds absolute hell to me. When I was growing up I broke my Windows installation a lot by changing settings. That's how I learned.
