Could you explain why? It looks absolutely dystopian.

To an extent, you are right. It looks like a cyberpunk game screen, which, upon inspection, is part of the draw here. I would like to assume that all of this can be changed, customized and whatnot the way I customize just about everything else.
You might see ads everywhere, but see my little meme gallery project plastered instead of every single of those ads, I see real time translation as a tourist, I see an advisor whispering in my ear the proper way to say thank you to this merchant.
You assume those will degrade the same way cellphones did. I am saying: lets make sure it doesn't happen by doing some work now since we absolutely do know what to expect from corporates.

A person from 1800 seeing a video of today's New York city would call it dystopian and the work of the Devil.
