Modern industrial design is a nauseating mix of commodification and trend-following, both of which drive drive products in the same niche to look the same. It's the beige-box phenomena writ large. Electronics used to be sexy, dammit.
To be fair, electronics used to be boring too. When I was growing up I had a Packard Bell PC with a 13" CRT (which weighed something like 20kg), and a boxy Epson printer. All three had a case in the standard 90s white/cream with grey highlights, where the white part turns yellow after a few years.
