I agree with you, and I don’t think anyone here is discounting generative design as a tool. But, is “reskinning” a mature product without many fuzzy factors (such as a mouse) the sustainable future of design? I would say it is not.
(BTW, the mouse is reaching the end of it’s life, though it may never go away completely. Touch screens and track pads and other things are replacing it. I use a pen/cintiq at a desk, and a trackpad on the go, even in 3D apps )
