> I have a visual impairment that make it really hard for me to distinguish objects where the is little contrast. This new UI trend of one pixel borders is a big annoyance for me. I constantly click the wrong window.

I have excellent vision and constantly struggle to figure out where GUI elements begin and end.

Like... Windows 95 has distinguishable UI elements figured out. They had clear borders, and it was easy to figure out if something was a button or input field, if it was enabled or disabled, buttons had icons and text, the use of depth was great too.

When and how did it go so wrong? It's not like there's a sudden shortage of screen space. That was a GUI that worked on a 640x480 monitor.
