They've been trying to follow Steve's old presentations ways but it's been so long that it just feels like a copy of a copy without anything genuine left in it.

As someone who stupidly watched a bunch of Apple's keynotes around 2005-2015 it all feels like yet-another-corporation presentation using Apple's style. Pretty off-putting.

Very much this. I know Steve Jobs was a showman, but at least he was charming in a way.

Like, I know you're twisting me around your little finger, but I'll let you do it, because it's kind of fun.

Whereas now, it feels more like car salesmen (and saleswomen of course) trying to sell me a new car even though my "old" car is still perfectly fine. And they know it and I know it.

As someone that regularly follows WWDC, many seem just standing there, reading a script.
