And, Apple's current "designers" are cargo-culting Susan Kare, thinking they're making "iconic" retro icons, but missing that Kare's icons were an honest response to the hard limitation of a 32x32 pixel grid, whereas they have a giant, almost unlimited canvases, and so pretending they don't is as dishonest from an artistic perspective, as any historicist pastiche; eg modern "pixel art" games.
