TUIs are experiencing something of a renaissance, I think. My hypothesis is that the popularity attracts newcomers who inevitably bring their own preconceptions from other domains. Many are unaware of the state of the art and reinvent the wheel. I don’t think this categorically a bad thing, but it can be a mixed bag of slop and genuinely useful cross-pollination.
Fan works of Star Wars have long been as good or better than the official releases. The world would be a much richer place if anyone was free to create whatever they wanted.
