This post is very well presented and it highlights how absolutely bizarre the latest update was. The video demonstration was also very well done.

I remember a few years ago, people complained when Apple merely made the entire operating system uglier. (Something about a gradient on the battery?) A lot of people would talk hyperbolically ("apple KILLED macos!"), and that's indistinguishable to an outsider when an update like this brings other people out of the woodwork to say, "Hey, these changes are genuinely bizarre and absurd, what happened?"

I especially liked the part with the hand trying to grab the plate. Perfect imagery.
