Ah, bullshit.  It's still about wrangling users and their data.  All this talk about "data driven" comes across like excuses to get out from under UI responsibilities.    Nobody like the dirty work of massaging the first/last mile (yard?) of effort that faces the users.  But failure to do so makes the rest pretty much pointless.
