What's so pathetic about this redesign of the #macOS drive icons from #Apple isn't that it ditches #Skeuomorphism, it's that it hangs on to skeuomorphism by trying to show a non-euclidian geometry vision of the face of a desktop drive.

Apple lacks the #Courage to go full geometric primitive and make icons that are pure metaphor. Given they're cargo-culting their own graphical history in so many decorative ways, they could have made uncompomised high-fidelity takes on the pre-Aqua icons.

A comparison between old, and new Mac OS icons for hard drives, and network shares.
