The essential meaning of technological progress is the utter inadequacy of humanity. We build cars that we never figure out how to safely drive, but being to arrogant to admit defeat and reconstruct society around trams like a sensible animal would do, we wait a century for cars that can drive themselves while the bodies pile up on the freeways in the meantime.
Yes it's true, we can't make a UI. Or a personal computer, or anything else that isn't deeply opaque to its intended users. But it's so much worse than that. We humans can't do hardly anything successfully besides build technology and beat each other in an ever expanding array of ridiculous pissing contests we call society.
