I'm curious when the music will stop and people realize that programming languages are more optimal at describing certain behaviors than english.

UI design (not implementation) is an area where “describe it with a programming language” has historically not worked. So much of what makes a UI good or bad is determined reactively after seeing the initial prototype. Those refinements are rarely based on an encoded set of principles that found their way into a training set, and the code used to implement such refinements was varied enough that models and humans both struggle to infer its intentions after the fact.
