Yeah, I see this happening a lot as well. A prime example is Spotify. Their app is done. It has all the features it needs. Instead of just focusing on making those features work more reliably, they seem intent on doing a big UI redesign every few months, adding bloat to the app and making it more frustrating to use. It’s really rare to find companies that just build a thing and stop adding features once the core functionality is done.
