I just wish they'd at least use a humanist sans.

I was really sad when Google switched Android's default font from Droid Sans, a humanist sans (and the direct predecessor of Noto Sans), to Roboto, a neo-grotesk.

Or when Apple went from Myriad to Helevetica Neue and San Francisco.

I just really hate everything about the way neo-grotesk fonts look, and mobile UIs have looked awful to me ever since.

I think for Apple is was more about it being organic and locally sourced.
