The "it would have been different under Steve Jobs" trope is coming up every so often when Apple introduces a radical new feature. Oftentimes I don't agree but in this case I absolutely do. A huge amount of engineering to get these shader effects right, but the outcome will be that the platforms will look more like a fruit salad and less coherent. Companies that invested in React Native, Flutter, Tauri, or alternatives in the past years will not necessarily be willing to redo their whole app just so that the controls get the glass look. At the same time replicating this in every cross platform toolkit might be difficult, and so I think this will lead to many apps looking out of place which worsens the overall experience.

They are called Apple, why are you surprised about fruid salad?

Additionally why would Apple be interested in making cross platform coherence easier? Just buy Apple if you want the cool design.

Looks like the coolest KDE setup of 2005.

Lol. Exactly that. They need to put some widgets to tell how much processing the done is using and make it all over a cube surface too

(Just to be sure, let me tell you that this is just a joke. It is 2025 and you never know ...)
