There is no consensus on buttons' rounded corners. Square corners are fine, or you'll have to explain why it's not.

Or shadow offset. Or kerning. Gave up in the the "hard" section because it became "spot the Apple defaults".

Even the dark pattern one, where it was "incorrect" for the skip button to look like a button?

Yeah, that was the one that made me immediately stop "playing". If dark patterns like that are "objectively" correct, then I would much prefer to be objectively wrong.

The justification was "one button with default style", the solution used is the same as Facebook which is clearly a dark pattern.

Not subjective at all about drop shadow or letter spacing or button padding? It feels like we've squeezed every ounce of art out of the UI. I would not have thought that revelation about UI decisions would make me sad tonight but there it is.
