Cargo-cult enshittification, where they blindly follow the corporate UX design trends, which are usually dictated by the marketing department, and done to maximize revenue instead of making a usable and productive interface.
Such as following trendy fashionable fads such as low contrast text, excessive whitespace and overuse of animations. Also to make the entire interface a part of the brand identity. In my opinion, these concepts have no place in open source software.
Also: if you don't like the new interface they will say you have problems accepting change, despite it objectively being inferior to the old versions.
KDE has done a lot better than Gnome in this area, by the way.
