I'm not actually sure, because I feel like most of the things people do with SAP are very repetitive. Their UIs are mind-bendingly bad, but you mostly learn to do the 3 things you have to do all of the time, and then do them over and over again. I'm not sure how much having a nicer UI would make that easier.
It's absolutely not something you just randomly explore. I think that's a more interesting question: what sort of empowerment of employees could you create if the UI wasn't so terrible?
But SAP's moat is elsewhere. You put up with its terribleness because nothing else can do what it does. Beating SAP would require you to reach that, and do something else, part of which could be a nicer UI.
