No, it didn't. But open source software follows the same cycles sometimes. The Gnome 2->3 transition is a simple example -- they de-invented whole sections of the software to make a worse but newer dishwasher.
Worse in your own personal opinion, not objectively
As a UI developer I consider GNOME 4 to be one of the best desktop UIs. But some people prefer to live in the past and use 30 years old designs than try anything new, even if it might be better for them long term.
