Or you put on the radio and the first track is random snippets of talking/music/sound at various volumes.
People put luxury goods in expensive packaging for a reason ... and no, _I_ don't like expensive packaging.
(Now, actually a book like that would be intriguing to me, but ...)
I know it looks very polished when all this is hidden. But when something stops working, the repair option might then be hidden as well though. The UX of having a dysfunctional system for days or weeks is even worse. In fact this is the reason I switched to Linux, everything is so much more predictable and transparent. Of course stuff looks more stitched together and sometimes things are harder to get running. But once things are set up properly, it just works and works.
Windows has improved a lot over the years, but still, if you keep an installation over time, you end up having more and more spyware and crappy software on your system, even on the Mac it's advisable to reinstall everything from time to time. This means backing up all data, not forgetting anything and also taking care of App reinstallations. For anyone using Computers for things they depend on, this is nightmarish UX.
Structural expressionism isn't a mainstream design aesthetic; people seem to tend towards minimalism.
This tends to be the general sentiment in both communities (outside of people who recommend that cause it’s all they know, but I wouldn’t listen to them regardless) if you keep good computer/internet hygiene practices and barring any widespread corruption/systemic malware/other external factors.
Aside from that, I’m always a huge advocate for the polished UX. As long as the options aren’t removed, the users who need them will be able to use them perfectly fine, everyone else won’t be offput by them, especially when the need for clean installs is only necessary for specific use cases as I mentioned before and doesn’t come up often at all.
