We had good design up until the mid-2000s,

...when people were saying "I hate modern design. We had good design up until the mid-1980s..."

...when people were saying "I hate modern design. We had good design up until the mid-1960s..."

...when people were saying "I hate modern design. We had good design up until the mid-1940s..."

Rinse, repeat. The past wasn't always better, you were just younger. We just had different design problems in 2005.

Wrong, but okay.

There is a trend of users lowering their standards so developers' jobs are easier. It's why we don't get settings as often as we used to.

No, we don't get settings because companies skimp out on engineers to actually build the backend, and Apple normalized not being able to customize your workflow so people accept it. It has very little to do with design trends.

You just described design trends then said they have very little to do with design trends.

If you can't tell the difference between design trends and management trends, I don't think you know as much as you think you do.
