That's rookie numbers, I still use a Citizen watch which is solar powered but is otherwise identical to an 18th century mechanical watch, with a single crown to set date and time. Beats charging a smartwatch daily or fumbling with button combos to change timezone while traveling.
Now it's true that I got a hardware update, but the author would presumably like a new desktop/laptop if it didn't force unwanted UI changes from what works for him. It's a sign that computer tech has not matured yet. You can easily get a car, or watch or a TV with the same controls that worked for you your whole life. There is no reason laptops or smartphones should be different, especially since software can easily support multiple themes for different tastes.
