Didn't see anyone mention this, but one of the main reasons for making macOS look more like iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS is because at some point we will be able to run apps written for the other systems natively in macOS. Seems like an obvious move, why is everyone so surprised? It just means less duplicated interface code for multiplatform products.

Which isn’t necessarily a good thing. They totally butchered the Mac Mail.app by shifting it to iOS UI paradigms. It used to be great; now it’s barely usable. Now they’re just making it easier to do the same and dumb down all the other apps out there for desktop users by replacing them with dumbed down iOS versions.
