You just dropped that comment about UX in at the end, but I think I know what you're hinting at.
What I see from UX/UI people is that consistency means an app has the same look and feel across OS platforms and the web, and it matches the corporate house style/identity.
The idea that apps should be consistent with the platform they are running on is completely dead. Even the OS platforms themselves don't have a consistent look and feel in any given version. Not to mention that that metaphorical fish has been flipped in the pan so many times that it has just disintegrated.
No one cares about consistency with OS platforms except us nerds on forums like this.
