I sometimes see blog posts lamenting how inconsistent UIs are in modern apps. When did consistency peak? Windows 3? After the release of Aqua for macOS? The era when Bootstrap was the default CSS framework for many web developers?

I'm surprised by how many different weather forecasts I can get out different apps. Surely there aren't many API providers for weather predictions? Alternative conspiracy theory: do weather apps that predict nicer weather get more downloads?

It's odd that games often show the hours played, but I've not seen this in other apps. "You've spent 20 hours talking to this person." Would this be a usage deterrent? If so, why do many games offer it by default?
