This point is so salient. It's all just candy.

Neat eye candy, granted. I'm glad so much emphasis went into legibility, and that accessibility variants are baked in.

But I'd still love a modern device with very basic UI. Palm had it nailed, and I had no beef with the basic shapes of Windows 3.11 or colored squares of the NT/XP eras. Buttons, window edges and other controls you can readily distinguish that simply stay out of your way when you don't need them. No need for every pixel to scream out "look at me" when you trail your finger over it.
