From my perspective, is not art that has been pushed aside, but the whole user-centered approach to design. But that is a busienss decision and probably they figured out profiting is more important than making users happy, and with the fact that migrating is something humans have stopped doing, even switchingg OS could be a huge mental effort for may.
Anyway, coming back to this topic, I'm still disagreeing to your "experience counts for little in this regard." It's bouncing i my head like an annoying, uncatchable soapy ball.
The only way I can make sense of it is by considering your perspective being a business owner, CEO or whatever white collar taking decision to deliver quantity over quality. Then it would make sense.
The whole point of the article was to justify the why for which product design is not a priority anymore and the consequent "talent crisis", that would be better defined as _talent slop _. Another factor to consider is that since the Bauhaus, design education (specifically - not art) has been democratized and, as the aim of many, design is now something that anyone is capable of doing if there's a need or aim to it. The tools that simplified the process-for-all are available.
Then yes, now "experience counts for little in this regard."

No, my point was just to mention that design is about art and that experience counts for little in this regard, since talent, artistic flair, gift, or whatever you want to call it, does not depend on experience. It does help, but between an experienced professional and a young artist, the experience of both is not a determining factor in artistic work. As we were discussing in this and several other topics, design is not solely and exclusively art, you have a good point. That being the case, young people with little experience doing the work of an experienced designer with the help of software is a waste of talent, unless that young person is a magnificent artist, in which case it doesn't matter.
talent slop
From experienced designers and talented young people who, instead of gaining knowledge, are doing industrial work operating machines.
