UML is the same line of thinking as J2EE which is the worst thing I’ve come across in my 25+ year career. J2EE took software complexity and made it not only more complex but catastrophically tedious. And then the “experts” were no longer software developers but bureaucrats. It was the perfect way to destroy Java and enterprise software.

UML was along the same lines as J2EE that rewarded bureaucracy and tedium.

UML is a relic of the worst parts of enterprise software back in the mid-naughts and I’m glad it’s completely dead.
