I don't think it was lack of experts. I suspect the UI people are professionals.
I much more strongly suspect it was "we're going to hire one person to do the work of three" and the result was "get it working as quick as I can".

That’s certainly what it looks like. When I first tried the game, before getting a refund shortly after, my first thought was “wtf, did they accidentally ship an old build?”. The UI feels so u finished, lacking feedback and visual clarity.
