I have the opposite problem with modern UIs. They tend to be too sparse in terms of information density.
I think the main problem is the lack of color and contrast. It makes it very difficult to present information in a way that makes sense. White space is one option to add structure to the information, but it's arguably not a very good one.
That's a real issue, yes. Modern UIs seem to be actively antagonistic toward users in many ways, and that's certainly one of them.
