Almost no one is being paid to make desktop apps any longer. And the UI/X discipline did not make it to the web for whatever reason. The last gasps became designers and settled on more padding, rounded corners, and hidden scrollbars. Most of which are pretty but counterproductive. Dead discipline except for very large products.

UI/X did not make it to the web? How did you come to that conclusion?

The number of job reqs I've seen posted for a dedicated position in the last ten years could be counted on one hand with several fingers left over. I'm interested in the subject so pay attention.
As mentioned the responsibility tends to have been subsumed by designers, but believe few designers study HCI. Part of the reason interfaces get harder to use every year.
