I think it has more to do with the particular company. Namely, a company that brags about how original their designs/products and is very sue happy towards anyone who imitates them in the slightest. On top of that, they have a lot of fans who think of Apple as a master of UI and general design (I'm not saying they're wrong) and will associate the design Apple and not the others who spearheaded it.
I didn't listen to Apples presentation, so I don't know if they tooted their own horn on this new design scheme, but if I was a designer who had been working on interfaces similar to what Apple is switching to, I would still be pretty pissed off right now. Because, once people switch to iOS 7, the general public will perceive your design as "Apple like" or "Apple inspired."
- shurcooL 13y agoI couldn't care less how original or unoriginal something is, I mainly care about how good it is functionally and less so how pleasing it is visually. I wish more people paid attention to that rather than who created what first. All ideas are based on some other ideas to some degree. I guess that's the difference. If Apple implemented something I created in their products, I'd be super happy that my idea is doing well and will benefit more people. I care about the ideas themselves, not about receiving credit.
