It's fun watching the UI pendulum swing back and forth over the years:
Mac OS System __ : Flat & simple (out of technical necessity)
Mac OS X: Glossy and shiny. Skeumorphic-ish
iOS: Skeumorphic all the way
macOS/iOS 7: Flat, boring
macOS/iOS26: Shiny & Glossy. Skeumorphic-ish
I guess in 10 years or so we'll be back to flat and boring
