Yeah, some interfaces have somehow contorted themselves to being utterly inaccessible in efforts to be maximally accessible.
Whether that's removing any immediately visible buttons whatsoever, only displaying vague icons (with no text labels) only to be seen in that software, or weirdly expecting a certain degree of old/new tech familiarity that may be too old for younger people or too new to make sense for many to be that familiar with yet.
On desktop/laptop computers I call it "appifying", a great example is Firefox, it used a classic customizable UI up untill version 29 when it launched a major redesign called Australis, making Firefox look like chrome, removing a LOT of cool and useful features, I hated it soo much I switched to a fork called Pale Moon, and only switched back to Firefox when they launched the Photon redesign a few years later.
