It is, and many of late have been.It seems as if the new UI is a Great Leap Backward.
UI/firmware "improvements" stopped about a year ago. Just about everything they've done has made the car worse. V9 tops the list. it's just awful. It's non-intuitive, removed several features and flexibility we had, and unsafe in that it requires extra key presses, looking down, to get to some things. The map, though now featured and larger, is harder to see details because they removed all color from it. Water used to be blue, roads were green, and now it's all gray with poor contrast. The color removal started towards the end of V8 updates.
I've heard some people say they want to make it like the Model 3. Well, I didn't buy a Model 3 and my car has a vertical screen. Something about square peg and round hole here...
