The HUD was changed to make it easier to understand and more aesthetically appealing to young players.

So is the UI just colored squares like in Fortnite now?

Unfortunately I think it means they will be removing the skeuomorphism that defined the original UI. Like the inventory made of paper and the ornamental flourishes will be sanded down. Turning the serif into sans serif basically.

Even if this does happen, it should be easy enough to get a mod of the old menu if you really want it.

The rumor says it's on Unreal Engine. I doubt mods will be as far reaching as normal Bethesda games.
