same. i'm fairly conversant in lots of 'design' things and this is remarkably opaque. The discussion is so generic, so removed from specifics, that it looks like it's architecture astronautics.

"A design system is really a high-level concept uniting various things together around shared objectives"

so it's a concept - uniting things - around objectives.

so it's everything and therefore nothing.

back in the real world this is just graphic design and user-interface guidelines and standards on how to present information - even to the extent of actual software components you can use to implement software. sure, cool, yay.
