This is so obviously a "modernization" effort that means they swapped out the existing UI engine with a UI engine built on web frameworks under the hood and tried to match things as closely as possible visually with some designer-induced changes, but without actually thinking about interactions at all. Unfortunately so much of "modernization" in desktop software these days comes down to ruining it with web bullshit. Backend Javascript might go down in history as the biggest technology mistake to ever exist.
