What happened to basic UX in IT? Everything is an unintuitive mess nowadays.

Everything's over designed and over engineered.
The entire notion of having a separate UX person from the designer/web designer was excess.
You also get people majoring/focussing in it, which creates the expectation companies need one person who specialize in it, but the vast majority of people who do are younger people who studied it somewhere and have no real experience with design or development. So they're just playing with sticky notes and white boards then dictating too much of the end product.
That's why the web is a clusterfuck of minimalistic card style design where you can never find the information you're actually looking for.
As opposed to designs in the 2000's and early 2010's, where the game was about fitting as much information as possible as clearly as possible into the user's screen.

This dude's shitposting, but might actually be onto something >>106118795
Women get hired disrpoportionately for their personality and as office decorations, but also tend to go into shit like design and UX without ever learning to code or ever having built a full product themselves.

Don't say UX that's a gay buzzword ruined by the full time specialized role of fart sniffers mentioned >>106119371
It's just basic functionality regular users can figure out while UX dev fuckers think they're artists of some kind
