#2Scrolling up and down on this website, the top "progressive blur" was annoying: too strong in the vertical expansion, on too small an area in the height used.

To the loss of everyone. This is the same company that introduced disappearing scrollbars, just one of many dumb design decisions.
What modern design seems to forget, is that at the end of the day, people actually want to USE the interface, not just look at it.

It also had noticable lag on my Pixel 6 Pro, which while not super new, isn't exactly a low-end device.

I don’t disagree in principle. But people also have to look at the interface while using it. There’s a balance, for sure, but strict utilitarian design is a no for me.

Why not both?

The performance is terrible for me too and I'm using last year's Snapdragon flagship, it feels like it's dropping to something like 15-20fps when scrolling. God help anyone trying to read this on a lower end device.

#9Something that’s wrong about this blur is that it’s expanding everything that’s content on the page outwards, but not expanding things inwards from outside the fold as well.
This gives the illusion that there’s a fisheye or barrel distortion at the edge. You can see this most strongly when the images get to the top edge. The edges of the image curve outwards.
Apples blur doesn’t do that. It seems to expand the content outwards and then blur it uniformly from there. This means that the lines of the image do become fuzzier (as a blur would) but they effectively seem to be axis aligned, as you get the background blurring inwards as well reducing the effect of expansion.
There also seems to be some pre-emptive blurring that adds to that. If I bring an image near the top edge but not under the blur section, the top edge will be a blurred copy of the image, then fall into the background and then to the crisp image.

#10is there a reason the author refuses to capitalize "Apple"?
Based on the pattern and other words that aren't capitalized like "vision" in "apple vision OS", I would guess it's as simple as "author used speech to text and apple is a word that is common in the English language and isn't usually a proper noun so isn't capitalized automatically."
