I'm not sure. Yes, latest macOS versions do have their share of misguided decisions, but at least most of the time it still feels like it's built by people knowing what they're doing and what their users need. It feels like there's some sort of contention going on between those who want shitloads of whitespace and other attributes of "UI like an art piece", and those who want their users to have great, empowering, and easy to use tools.
