But it's exactly the thing that makes software "delightful". It's also a huge boost to the developer's appreciation, motivation, productivity, care for the product.
But yeah, if you only care about checking the feature boxes.. Go ahead, make shit software with miserable people, but be sure to prepare to go out of business.
The point is a real skybox is not great for satnav software. It's probably actually worse than a stylised mode, with a predictable colour background for anything that's going to sit on top of it.
That's exactly not the point. Where do you think innovation comes from?
It comes from tinkering.
It comes from all sorts of different things. Massive capital investment into R&D processes also. Depends on the thing.
