It's truly hideous to look at. I really can't believe they went for these massively rounded corners. They're too stubborn to allow you to select an option for right angled corners again. They just tinker as there's no other real UI enhancements.

"right angled corners again"

I have a feeling you aren't and haven't been a Mac user for a long time. When was the last time Macs had right angled corners!? 30+ years ago?

I think it was in the Steve Jobs biography (or maybe I read it somewhere else), that Jobs made them do rounded corners on the windows back on the first Macintosh after noticing the rounded corners on a table they had. The engineers complained about how much extra memory that would take on such a limited system, but they figured it out.

Literally never. System 1 has corners that are superficially pointy looking, but if you look close they have a sort of smoothing instead of being a hard right angle. On a screen with 340 lines of resolution.

I've used Macs since 1988.

Whenever I see people try to make their Linux environment look modern and fancy, they generally include extremely rounded corners.

"modern and fancy" isn't how I'd describe these bizarre rounded corners in Tahoe. They remind me more of a Buck Rogers TV episode from the 1970s or Speak & Spell from the 1980s. They are ghastly to look at.
