And most computers were entirely shit in the 1950s
yet here we are today
You must’ve missed the point: people invested in desktop computers when they were shitty vacuum tubes that blow up.
That still hasn’t happened for any other user experience or interface.
> it's good and versatile enough for what most people need to do with a computer
Exactly correct! Like I said it’s a limitation of the human society, the capabilities and expectations of regular people are so low and diffuse that there is not enough collective intelligence to manage a complex interface that would measurably improve your abilities.
Said another way, it’s the same as if a baby could never “graduate” from Duplo blocks to Lego because lego blocks are too complicated
Most jobs would not be improved by a more complex interface. Cashiers don’t need a more complex interface. A doctor doesn’t need an AR headset for your yearly physical.
Most of society doesn’t need more complex interfaces. Much of society doesn’t actually even need computer interfaces all that much, they’ve only been foisted on them.
