Well yea there isn't a million icons and options, because all of them are removed and all that's left are the defaults.
What's the logic that in Win95 (or even 3.x) you could customize every color of the interface, and in Win8+ you can only either use some of the predefined options or use the (often borked) dark mode?
How come that until W7, you could disconnect a Bluetooth device without having to turn off either all of the Bluetooth or the device, and from W8 you can't?
How is it that until a certain version of iOS you could just send files to another device over Bluetooth and now you need to use their retarded proprietary bullshit transfers?
And how come that even with all that simplification, setting up keyboard and language combination in W10 is the most incomprehensible and broken bullshit?
Modern interfaces are cancer.
Ed: btw my eyes also aren't the best, I'm very sensitive to light and as such have been suffering from terminal white backgrounds on everything for the last 15 years because some corpo decided that's what we all have to do now.
Yeah those things do seem shit. Pretty happy here on Linux with the dark theme and Dark Reader extension on Firefox, can't remember the last time I had to contend with a white background.
