You say that, but I don't think it's true. (I think you even argue against it later in the comment but I'm not sure??)

I agree.

I liked some things that looked more physical/tactile.

To be clear, I don't care if my calculator looks like a desk calculator as much as if clickable buttons show they are clickable. Underlining a link might be inelegant, but it is also functional and immediately knowable.
