Did someone at Apple discover some cool shader tricks and just can't stop?

yeah at some point around 1999 with Mac OS 9, they started making abstract desktop backgrounds like this, and there’ve been a few like it in every OS released since then https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNNQyeVrqxBdNmBkq9ILswi...

Thanks for sharing, I find those backgrounds beautiful. The Neo background, on the other hand, is ugly, at least to my taste.

It definitely has a bit of a 1990s gradient 3D buttons vibe.
