You'd be surprised, I do know a thing or two about this having been dealing with UI myself recently as part of my work. I do agree with you though it's trickier with irregular shapes and the like but it's a question of how much effort the UI designers and programmers are willing to put into it and most don't see the point even though it does make you massively stand out if you do put the effort in.
I do like a simple UI, partly just from a utility perspective especially if it's something I use every day. If however I want to be entertained I appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile. You don't have to rely on irregular shapes though to make interesting buttons, sometimes it just takes good drawing skills, paper's please is a great example of that.

You say this about literally every topic that ever comes up.
