Modern devices obfuscate how they work while old technology didn't do that as much. It's the difference between being able to take apart an old-school alarm clock with a screwdriver vs some bullshit smart^TM^ device that measures time that you can't even take apart without ruining the plastic case because outside screws aren't minimalist enough.
Absolute peak design was 90s electronics with transparent cases like the transparent Gameboy. We have regressed so much since then.
