Ever since we didn't use bolder text for bright text on dark backgrounds (dark mode) to keep with typographical principles, it looks like we're doubling down on the readability sins.

Surely anyone who's fiddled with the caption background opacity on their TV or video player knows this is a mess?

Would have been nice for someone to explain why we're getting Windows Aero[1] for main content and not just bezels.

I don't think this design language is mutually exclusive with readability, it actually looks really cool in many ways; I just can't fathom why the examples in the presentation seemed good enough to show.
