I used to find these changes compelling but now I think they are mostly a pain in the ass or questionable.
Proof of a well-designed UI is stability, not change.
Reads to me strongly of an effort to give traditional media something shiny to put above the headline and keep the marketing engine running.
If you read the press release, you can see it's 100% about marketing and nothing else.
Apple will spend 10x the effort to tell you way a useless feature is necessary before they look at user feedback.
