The interface is just a middleman.
This is why you can't win on "tactics" alone, and will get frustrated trying.
The game is finding a medium to best communicate what you want to communicate with people that want to be communicated to.

Gmail doesn't make your emails better.
YouTube doesn't make your videos better.
Figma doesn't make your graphics better.
You do.
