Well put. It’s why I’m so happy that the beta of MacOS Golden Gate shows proper designers who sweat the details are in charge again.

Could you elaborate? I just looked at the screenshots on https://www.apple.com/os/macos/, but did not see anything too different from the previous version.

What's changed? I know there's a Liquid Glass slider, and unified toolbars, and corner radiuses are consistent, but that seems about it.

It is hidden by default and when you mouse over it it is so bland that it is hard to see where you are on the page.

I havent used Mac is in a while, so I am not sure about how it is today, but this seems to have been the development everywhere.
