Yeah the Human Interface Guidelines were the precursor to design systems, and for a little while, design/ux really was front and center and that influence and patterns that worked spread through software projects and products. Nowadays sadly UX always takes a back seat to capitalizing on attention, and capitalism in general.

Edit: It's important to remember that Apple was writing 350 page interface books in 1992. They pioneered "look and feel."

Nowadays those questions are like

"Did the user make a purchase? How many ads did they see in 15 seconds? Are they still scrolling? How much data have you collected?"
