The points about visual hierarchy are spot on, in particular on macOS. I think Apple has two realistic paths forward to resolve this mess: 1. Double down on the aesthetic and gradually redesign apps to improve the hierarchy. That would mean adapting UX across countless apps to serve the new look. 2. Tone down the glass effects and shadows drastically. Preserve existing app layouts without compromising usability as much. We'll be left with shimmering buttons and panels, a bit more blurred transparency than in the 'current' design language. My guess is they will end up choosing option 2, simply because it’s cheaper.
