I don’t think this is simply a muscle memory thing that I’ll eventually get used to; I feel like it’s fundamentally nonsensical and I’m curious if it’s just me. Or am I just being a stubborn old man stuck in his ways?
They don’t teach material design or something, they teach you to look at the interfaces people use the most and copy the shorthand and general layout
Then they teach you what not to do… Don’t make buttons appear and disappear, don’t make interactions move things around… These are basically universally confusing
They get into a bit of color theory, making certain actions “weighty” by adding loading, and all sorts of other techniques
