Why is Material UI still so comically awful?

M3 is an upgrade but even the "header carousel" component there had me straight up pause and study all the ways it's terrible

From the ripple effect that overflows depending on how wide the text underneath is.

The "back button" which is actually for going from one section to the next

And the way it behaves as I click from section to section using those buttons is "top tier jank" for the lack of a better term

The way it also randomly seems to align or not align the currently selected heading resulting in weird clipping of text that just looks confusing and broken.

The shadow indicating the elevation chance as it goes sticky also looks and feels straight out of Windows 95

Why can't Google just make an aesthetically pleasing UI? It almost feels like Apple and the "modern SaaS template ala WorkOS" guys stole the only two good looking directions for modern UI aesthetics and now Google is stuck pushing along their hideous (but identifiable!) aesthetic along side them.
