I'm honestly curious why Apple (and other OS vendors like MS and various Linux distributions) still feel the need to tweak their UIs many, many years after having reached maturity.

How many iterations does it take before you get it right?

I get that there's a certain sense of fashion to it, but so often these changes are either neutral or worse, and it just seems so pointless. I don't see any concrete benefits of this year's UI design over what was already there 10-20 years ago.

its hard to market something like an os to consumers and devs without some large noticeable changes

though one then has to wonder, why do we need a new os every year...
