They fixed all the extremely egregious issues with Liquid Glass, good to see.

I'd never update to macOS 26, but 27 I might, begrudgingly.

Even if it sucks, there is always the possibility that some software you use finally updates and you dont have a good alternative to replace it. Especially if you consider corporate fleets.
