Nothing stands out as a link, or a click able button, because the entire visual landscape is new to them.

That's because modern UI designers are all about form over function. UI rules were worked out 40 years ago with the first gui's. But you don't get a promotion for maintaining code. So everyone has to do something different to get noticed.

So now we have UI's where interactive and non interactive elements are mixed without any visual distinction.
