This bothers me. Why would you rewrite the menu bar, something that works?!
I keep seeing new kinds of menu items in macOS. The menu for Focus mode is completely different in rendering than the menu for Wifi, say. Surely (I think to myself) all these should be inbuilt system menus -- that is, reusable shared code -- that are consistent? Or is macOS just getting rewritten, ad hoc yet wholesale, half the UI custom not system?
