> I don't know the Apple hierarchy and who is actually responsible for what.

Alan Dye was Vice President of Human Interface Design

Federighi is Senior Vice President Software Engineering. Only Tim Cook and God are above him: https://www.apple.com/leadership/craig-federighi/

I mean, you're supposed to know at least some basic facts to engage in a conversation about this, right? He wasn't "picked to present"

> The point was that anyone presenting for Apple is going to come across as having drunk the kool-aid, otherwise, they would not have been picked.

You've missed my point entirely.

Again: it wasn't just Alan Dye reapinsible for Liquid Glass. People keep pretending only Dye was responsible for it.
