Why has software mostly trended away from a skeuomorphic design?
In the 2000s and early 2010s skeuomorphism was pretty common in user interfaces. For example in windows Xp, you had “my computer” and the icon was literally a computer and you had outlook express which literally looked like a piece of mail, Paint literally looked like a paintbrush etc. we saw this in mobile operating systems like iOS as well like newsstand had a wooden background and literally looked like a newsstand, if you opened notes the background looked like a piece of notebook paper and photos was a sunflower etc. Icons and sometimes applications looked like real life objects. in the late 2010s and 2020s the vast majority of software developers opted for a minimalistic design and went away from skeuomorphism. Is there a reason why this happened?
