The cursor being captured when hovering buttons is the worst UI I've seen in a very long time

It's what iPad does when you use a mouse. https://web.archive.org/web/20200602200001/https://www.apple...

Is that meant to be an argument in favor of it? That it's what the iPad does for the extremely rare case of a user using a mouse with it?

Just information. I don’t know rare this case is, I use my iPad mostly with magic keyboard which has a touchpad.

Honestly it doesn’t bother me at all because it only applies to UI elements and not the websites link or buttons.

It sucks on there too. Thankfully it can be toned down/disabled there.

This is, for all I care, on par with sites that mess with scrolling.

I sort of understand this being used on artistic or playful sites, or ones to show off tech, sure. On a document that talks about usability? Feels like satire.
