FWIW, I don't find these gradients especially pleasing. (They're fine, but I find some of them a bit much). I don't know why I would be different, but there it is.
Just throwing a hypothesis out there--I'm not a Mac nor IOS guy, and if those that find them especially pleasing by-and-large are then maybe that's the link. Again, that's just wild speculation without any data to back it up.
Then again, some of these style gradients are used in Ubuntu graphics too (and I again find their presence there a bit much,) so maybe there is a bigger shift towards them.
In any event, I'm guessing it is cultural and not hardwired by monkey-grandpa genes.
- dfc 9y agoMy breath was not taken away either. The first couple were fine--in the sense that they were not offensive--but after scrolling down a little bit I started to find the pairings a bit repulsive. I am also not an mac/ios person but I don't know why that is relevant to aesthetic preferences.

What looks hip and cool in graphic design from the 70s doesn't so pleasing today. I don't know if MacOS or IOS uses such gradients, but I believe Apple Music at least does (do a Google image search for Apple Music), so it is mostly a hunch on my part.
