The design can be timeless without the design being beautiful. The design is more than its appearance.

(I'm joking because even so-called timeless designs might look pretty out of place if you send them back far enough)
What looks good to 5/10 people, might not look good to the other 5/10. For an instance, consider an iPhone 4S. It is a pretty average design "aesthetically" IMO. But the phone did extraordinarily well because it was a well engineered phone. Another example is this website that you're looking at. I would call this average aesthetics as well.
Of course good aesthetics is an awesome add-on, but it is not fair to disqualify a product based on just aesthetics.
I have heard multiple people unironically call it the sexiest phone they’ve ever seen.
