Can we use "ensheetification" to describe this phenomeon? (sure I'm not the first to use this word)

That description really excels
I think the other replies are missing your 'sheet' pun, from my knowledge and a quick search, I think you coined it
For a second I thought it meant the novel sheets UI Steve Jobs showed off in the original Mac OS X.
I hate to quote an AI but I got this....
>Ensheetification is a newly coined, informal term, likely from Hacker News, describing the trend where web/app interfaces become dominated by large, card-like "sheets" or panels that slide up, covering content, similar to how apps like Google Maps, Instagram, and Apple's iOS use full-screen or partial-screen overlays, effectively "sheeting over" previous views to present new information or actions.
I propose MSDS in stead, short for My Sheet Don't Stink.
Seriously reads like a hallucination

I hope this takes off
Yeah, I love this :)
What does it imply that the other term does not? Enshitification is the inevitable result of the tendency of profit to revert to zero. This is basic schumpeter (not to mention marx).
One is the result the other is the process.
Ok, but what is the distinction between the two terms?
It happens because Data People look at Numbers on Sheets and justify business decisions based on what happens with the numbers.
The alternative business decision making framework is the Jobs method: Do the thing that you know is good, because of your pure human sentiment.
Enshittification puts the focus on the users of the product as the product gets worse.
Ensheetification puts the focus on what's happening within the business to cause this.
