I cant agree with this statement ...
If "everyone" would have to constantly search in a UI ... then it would be bad.
But if "you" have to constantly search in a UI ... then there is quite good chance that you simply dont use it properly. :-/
You'd be surprised how many people need to search a UI. Personally, BG3's icons are so generic that they tend to blend in with eachother unless I'm looking right at the rune, and the differences between some of them are extremely subtle.
It might be my eyesight but I prefer the bigger UI and Icons of Solasta. I don't need a hotbar to use that UI, everything is clear on what does what.
