Wasn’t it introduced on Tahoe? (Perhaps my memory is failing me here.) Do you mean it still persists on Golden Gate? They seem to have addressed the majority of issues I heard about - unless you mean the issue is that rounded corners exist at all.

You can't unit test for taste if you haven't written down what you mean by taste. If you can externalize it, then you can. Follow this line of thinking, and the AI-friendly answer is easy: we just have to externalize everything we know, so Claude can implement what I want. Except that I can't fully externalize myself. Debugging a system takes more resources than running the system. If I could write down everything I…
The bigger problem I have as a worker is that, once I externalize it (by writing a skill or whatever), it becomes a work-for-hire whose copyright is owned by my employer. Technically this is true of a few other things I do for work, like my .emacs and .bashrc files, small scripts I keep in ~/bin on my workstation, etc., but no employer cares to assert this unless they're being assholes for some unrelated reason.

They wrote the HIG before Alan came in and trashed the place.
Indeed, I'm sure Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave.
But if you break off parts of that - eg. by looking at what is codified out there as “good” design, what’s considered best practice etc - you can create tools the agent can call on that let it get critiques of its own work.
What’s really cool about this is those tools can be code, written by agents and committed to your repo. Put together a script that for example makes sure your brand colors are enforced (eg. https://github.com/cadamsdotcom/CodeLeash/blob/main/scripts/...) and then put it in your pre-commit checks (https://github.com/cadamsdotcom/CodeLeash/blob/main/.pre-com...), and the agent will get feedback on its use of tasteless defaults and adjust accordingly (partly because you blocked commits that contain said tasteless defaults!)
