    That is probably what the image in the post is about, really.

    It's supposed to make the program more accessible for those who are not used to the concept of computer programs at all.

    It will come back when all the big players are only offering cloud services, to ensure normies don’t demand that computing be allowed in the hands of everyone again. “It’s so easy to use! Why couldn’t those old PC things get it right? God those were terrible, I’m so glad we subscribe to ChatGPT for $80 a month, and those scary Muslim leftists get ion-cannoned when they have conversations about how they want life to be better instantly now.”

    You say that, but that’s what Apple has been doing with Liquid Glass, and tons of people hate it, myself included

    Liquid glass is not skeuomorphism, it's just Windows Aero 20 years later. Simulating the realistic look of single material and using it for all the interface is quite the opposite of skeuomorphism. As such things don't exist in real life. There were never music stereo players made entirely of glass. So they are not imitating anything that has ever existed.
