If you take today's interfaces to an extreme, you would get a white sheet. Very clean, but unusable. I wouldn't call interfaces "clean" where users increasingly have trouble figuring out what's clickable, how to scroll, move or resize a window.
That's how a lot of software gets done these days. More bloat, less features, lots of inconsistencies.
This is a leadership problem, not a technical one.
This is very much capitalistic. It's not competitive markets (which are good for consumers) but capitalists hate competition once they have made it to the top.
Monopolies are anti-capitalism, despite it being something that capital strives for.

Sounds like a good thing to try to increase diversity and recruitment.
Of course we also have Ronald Reagan to thank. And that administration spawned the career of John Roberts, which we can now see as a through line to the destruction of The Court.
The entire western world had been shifting towards neoliberalism as a direct response to the eastern world shifting towards communism since WW2.
