It's wild to me how UI developers just can't let things be. Certain elements are timeless and just work. Why do you feel you have to reinvent the wheel every few years?

    UI redesigns are a marketing feature for paid products because you need to give people a reason to update. (See Microsoft Windows looking different with every new major version).

    Mozilla sees Firefox as a paid product (even if it isn’t) and their marketing team decides for a redesign every few actual major releases (not the bogus major releases to get the release number higher fast).
