The entire UI redesign of "liquid glass" looks horrible in its current state. Right now the readability factor on iOS is at an all time low. It feels like a change just for the sake of change. How is it better?
Maybe it's a subtle way to punish non-native apps that recreate UI elements, but do not use SwiftUI. The user gets used to the native way of UI elements and everything else will look odd after a while, forcing developers to ditch everything that isn't truly native.
One doesn't need to use SwiftUI for the look. Things like the tab bar, navigation bar are available in Swift too. (for those unfamiliar, Swift is different and older than SwiftUI).
Sorry to burst your bubble but users literally do not care "how native it looks" other than the vocal minority online. Never ever heard any non-technical user complain that Spotify does not fit in.
You might be on to something about change for change's sake. I mean you have a large design team at Apple. Do you expect them to sit on their hands for years and years?
