You cannot say the same about GNOME3 or Windows 11 versus XP - Windows 11 has some baffling Settings app and also a Control Panel, being a mashup of different ideas and UI elements (and toolkits! see MMC snap-ins versus the UI of Settings).
The only difference is recent trends to dumb-down the UI to be more iPad-like, and this trend of Etch-A-Sketchification of the macos UI is not something to be welcomed.
