Commenters invoke Apple's past authorship of human interface design principles, suggesting the company has abandoned its own standards rather than being surpassed by competitors.

“Quite astonishing, considering that Apple (quite literally) wrote the book on human interface design*. They didn't necessarily kill the golden goose, but they certainly poisoned it and let it die alone in the corner.”
