I hear you, but I also think it might be a bit myopic to focus too much on aesthetics / visual trends, when the primary value provided by a thorough design system like Material is its coherence and consistency. Building UI on such a foundation can help to prevent some of the unjustifiable, trendy or arbitrary decisions that inevitably arise when there's no underlying system at all.
