Yes. To me the original Reddit poster seems like a kid with way too much free time on their hands.

Operating systems should just be tools, using your brainpower to squint at accent colors or similar is just pure waste. Kinda like you don't give two shits about the asphalt color of the highway while driving.

The post is about much more than just the customisation options. He also highlights the reduced information density and the negatively impacted effort to effect ratio of the new controls and their layout.

OK, but changing stuff for no reason also wastes user brainpower.
