Based on the headline I thought this was going to be a criticism of Android 12 itself. I am baffled by some of the changes they made to the UI in Android 12, specifically the large/text icons in the pull down bar that now gives you much less information density at a glance. First time I have regretted upgrading android. More discussion:

Yes, and the visual effects that look like noise on the screen. The giant lockscreen clock that moves itself up into the corner so it can display tiny, tiny notification icons right underneath, leaving 75% of the display blank. Really weird choices.

Agreed. Android 12 was a huge step backwards

The rounded everything is terrible
