Author here. I was also surprised to see this getting a bunch of HN traffic suddenly. I guess the Liquid Glass hate is pretty strong when a dashed-off blog post about a real blog post can randomly do numbers! Heartened to see that others are annoyed by this design as well, though. Hopefully Apple will do something about it, but I'm not holding my breath.
I don’t know if you remember iOS 7, it was a catastrophe. Designs evolve on Apple platforms, usually in the correct direction.
Anecdotally, I have used Liquid Glass since the first beta and I honestly think there are a lot of good things there. Took me a few months but I actually like it now (and I have some colleagues in there same boat as me).

This current submission is nothing but a duplicate and should be flagged dead.

I mean I had a gut feeling it would be bad for a11y when I saw it but they really twist the knife.
