People want the thing they’re staring at all day to look pleasing to the eye. Oh the horror! It’s kind of weird to me that folks think that aesthetics don’t matter for something that’s so central to one’s life. The legitimate complaint about/problem with aesthetics is when it becomes the priority and/or hampers functionality. The macOS calendar when it took its extremely skeuomorphic turn was the prime example of this (it was such a poster boy for aesthetics over functionality that Apple responded by getting rid of skeuomorphism altogether). But aesthetic improvements don’t need to be like that at sll.
