Perhaps...but the user needs a framework in order to understand the
functions they find themselves in charge of once they've initiated a
program. As the designer, the programmer is best placed to provide
that framework, because they know, or they should know, what it is
(something I don't think can be taken for granted). Therefore,
fundamental decisions about the UI should be left to the programmer.
If customisation is possible, all well and good, but it should not be
the main goal of a UI. Usability principles should be.

That would be an API.
