It always takes a few decades for UIs to catch up with new hardware. We still don't really understand how to design touch UIs yet. We basically just squish WIMP interfaces a little so you can fat finger them. There has been no radical reimaging of UI toolkits for touch yet.
The software industry is so crippled by finance thinking right now anyway, everything research-y moves extra slow anyway. We're in the second dark age of UI.
People are doing weird pointless stuff in VR UI right now, so I think that might be where the ideas get worked out. That's how it worked before, we got out of the WIMP stagnation because a whole new paradigm (hypertext) emerged.
