Nitpicky, but he’s rounding the edges, not the corners. And yes, why are they so sharp? I seem to recall my wife having the plastic MacBook that came out circa 2006 and the edges on that thing were legitimately painful. I always marvel at how sharp the points are on the notch of the lid on my current MacBook. Very very pointy.
I have intrusive thoughts of trying to cut my finger over it, but so far the attempts were unsuccesful.
Meanwhile a very important object called "Orion CM-003 Integrity" of the Artemis II mission is about to splash-down on Earth in 35 mins.
Physical objects should be rounded, virtual windows should be square. I will die on this hill.
> windows should be square found the Windows 8 enthusiast! haha, I kid. (I myself use a tiling window manager , i3, with completely square windows without any gaps or rounding)
The square corners are part of a 2 pixel wide border (one black, one white) because who needs to waste space on handling things we aren't manipulating? But the title bar is high-contrast, because you'll go looking for it when you want to switch windows.
The round corners go with a fairly thick border in a customizable color, usually something very bright in the yellow, orange or cyan ranges. When you sit down, you should immediately know what is active.
There’s a sharp corner there is unnecessary.

Not all heroes wear capes. This is excellent and can't wait to get aluminium mac next to try it – don't think Space Black is a good way to go. Author's another post on "The Seasons are Wrong" [0] is excellent too and I fully support both approaches. [0] https://kentwalters.com/posts/seasons/
The seasons idea is interesting -- to me, both proposals feel wrong. I think it's because the weather changes that I perceive seem to lag behind the changes to daylight length by a few weeks. I would propose boundaries that align partly with how I perceive the weather, and partly with how we plan our year (by months): Summer starts June 1st, Fall starts September 1st, Winter starts December 1st, and Spring starts Mar…
But we lost a lot of nice symmetries that way, which is unfortunate
Not sure if the Apple Silicon devices have the same issue - but it was consistent through at least 3 different generations.
