I've actually pointed out some of the issues right after that first trailer myself [1].

Back then, I was sure Apple's designers (who I would see as very competent) would course-correct. What has been shown clearly was a "mood trailer" to me. Actually implementing this design would surely make them understand that they would need to dial back some of those effects for readability.

For a while, they seemed to have done that, utilizing frosted glass more than in the initial trailers. Recent betas however seemed like they are slowly converting back to full-glass with all the known usability issues.

I really don't know who at Apple thought "dark text on almost fully transparent button with dark background" was a good idea.
