> There’s no going back. Apple could have made a difference by enforcing iOS UI guidelines more strongly in the early days of the platform, but that opportunity was lost. The web remains beyond hope as even the most basic UI components are constantly reinvented by graphic designers wielding Figma because the browser is a useless UI platform.
I can't help but to wonder what UI that's designed for maximum usability and familiarity would look like. Something extremely boring and functional, perhaps close to the old Windows looks, before they had a bunch of different design systems in the same OS.
Perhaps a vaguely modern project like this would be something like SerenityOS: https://serenityos.org/ https://serenityos.org/
Or, for something more mainstream, I think Linux with XFCE and one of the Redmond themes comes close, but then again lots of software doesn't conform to that (e.g. anything that's based on Electron): https://www.xfce-look.org/find?search=redmond https://www.xfce-look.org/find?search=redmond
That said, the Wise design looks appropriate when compared with the current state of the rest of the industry and the color contrast compliance is nice.
