Our core protocols would like a word about the value of standardization.
Are you sure you’re weighing where the demand is correctly? We’re talking the cognitive consumption layer which is trivial to generate desire for customization in.
Try writing your own TCP/IP stack.
The web UIs are taxonomy. Design. Easily customized for small tasks.
Work that needs to be done generically (protocols) is more abstract and becomes a de facto standard. We fought the protocol wars on the same grounds (ipx, netbui, tcp/ip, oh my!) and we stuck with the free ones.
The demand is for jobs. Having a lot of web developers is a matter of ideology for jobs, and is not an indicator we have so much demand for unique web UIs we need all these people making them.
That’s not real demand. That’s demand to keep our ideology about work alive.
Given all these UX libs, a desktop app could have tabs and in each tab a specific style (mail form, blog post) with a random design applied.
The user could punch in their data, click a button to deploy. But we atomized each task for jobs.
We have enough content and our consciousness only really seems to like certain styles generally.
Throwing more monkeys at typewriters isn’t due to demand for UI. It’s to meet demand of middle class Americans that don’t want to work at McDonalds.
