I was never a fan of aero, but I don't care a lot about UIs in general. It's just that Liquid Glass as implemented by Apple specifically is terrible. When I first updated to it I was looking for how to tune it down and found this article that covers what I think is the biggest issue with their implementation: https://www.macworld.com/article/2891233/this-liquid-glass-toggle-is-a-window-into-apples-broken-design-process.html

They focused so much on making it pretty that it ceased to be functional. There should not be animation lag on basic UI elements. My phone is not that old and my screen will freeze up with a big Liquid Glass bubble obscuring the display for at least a full 2 seconds depending on the button I press. They allow per app Liquid Glass settings, which is great considering how terribly it's been implemented on certain apps, but the fact it's deemed necessary should be a huge indicator of the overall quality. A nonzero amount of dev time was put into making sure we can reject their design direction and still that doesn't work. The safari browser implementation of turning off LG leaves empty blocks on the top and bottom of the screen instead of the normal fade away of those elements, and that is their own browser. I imagine a lot will be patched out soon, but the roll out has been a buggy disaster in my opinion. I think it's really colored people's opinion on LG in general now.
