Allowing this to go through screams to me that there's no objective design leadership in the company. How did something so awful manage to get past however many employees, executives, design reviews, and into the press? Steve Jobs who had incredible design leadership made sure each design decision had a solid reason and a strongly felt impact in the experience. This design is the exact opposite of that.
