In summary, Apple messed up, they had nothing to present this year, so they came up with a bad design and passed it off as "revolutionary". This is the kind of thing a failing company does. I'm sad, I'm an Apple fan, but they are pulling scams for years instead of actual developments.

It definitely feels like they needed something, anything, to use as a marketing tool following the Apple Intelligence false advertising debacle.

This seems like a minority perspective, but while (or maybe because) I was really prepared to hate Liquid Glass, I actually quite like it, all in all.
I can’t speak for people with visual impairments, but for me, many of the effects actually work, and I appreciate the on average larger hit targets.
Some things, like the little icons inline of some macOS menu bar items, actually make it easier to quickly spot a given option in a long list to me.
