I don't think it's about the look, it's more about consistency across Apples operating systems, which is a valid reason to redesign IMO

- mihaaly 4y agoConsistent is not everything! Same looking, forced the same concept into everything, whatever the context is and if it justifies better approach in that local situation or not, and especially ''fixing'' already released 'inconsistent' state, already learned (sometimes forced)? No, thank you!! They did not have to change to the new look that caused inconsistency the first place. This is a toxic kind of practice to reorganise everything again and again, obstucting users. I had to waste sooo much time already in various system 'optimizations' and 'consistency redesigns' forced on me that it costs a lot! On this level the consistency is a barrier, not helping, corrupting a working situation. It is not a magic wand solving everyhting, it could ruin things! Just think about consistent touch screen approaches, putting touch screen everywhere in the highly practical world of vechicles, causing problems, accidents. Consistency is not paramount. Practicality is.
- janfoeh 4y agoWhy would consistency between them be desirable? Both are wildly different beasts with wildly different capabilities. Every design is tailored around constraints. Importing the design language of iOS into macOS imports its constraints. If we ignore that, we end up with nonsense such as the iOS dialog boxes in macOS.
