Well the "Today, I can't even change the system font in Windows. I can select an "accent color", but most applications completely ignore it." part is a bit ambivalent. Doesnt this actually mean, that the programmers have the freedom to ignore the 'accent color' which the article is somehow arguing for. (the alternative would be that the OS mandates functionality of app in a very intrusive way)
