That's just modern software in a nutshell, nothing is ever "good enough" for designers/companies and they must change it no matter what.

The settings app for example was perfectly fine, it worked well for what...near 20 years with only slight tweaks. Now I have to use the search bar for settings, because it's not obvious at all where to find a lot of them.

And yet things that would be useful like a volume mixer are still nowhere to be found.



I mean, there were definitely iterative improvements I think could have been made to the settings app, as with nearly all software. Instead, apple threw out the design for a ux that was clearly optimized for palm sized screens that you operate by touch in order to unify the interface between two entirely disparate forms of interaction.
