OSX 10 Yosemite

Why Apple's latest OS GUI looks so amateurish, ugly and flat, while software is so bloated and filled with spyware, like it is some Windows 10?

It is actually possible to enable the classic Windows NT look (which is still bundled inside Windows 10), but most new programs would just crash:

Flat design was invented by these pretentious talentless design niggers, who can't design to save their life, but still want to earn some money, creating crap ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist%27s_Shit ). It is easy to draw an ugly looking confusing black-and-white icon, instead of proper one.

Most Linux software depends on desktop environment. Longtime ago there was KHexEdit, a a nice hex editor that did the job done. But since multiple incompatible API and ABI changes, there is no KHexEdit anymore, all work put into it is lost. And Linux software that is still maintained is cost a lot of man-years to keep working, instead of improving it, like i.e. adding in hex editor support for defining file structure, reading memory of any process, or integrating it with disassembler, so you can easily analyze your compiler's output.

Then again, you can't easily add support into your Linux program for reading the memory of other process, because ABI for that is very unstable.

Hex editor is a typical crud app, it can't be that complex to depend on "unstable" APIs. heck a hex editor is much simpler than any text editor to write.

Actually, good hex editor does a lot of stuff, including opening very large files and text input in various encodings.

That kind of SJW frame of thought is why you have the abortion that is systemd and why the modern Linux userland and software ecosystem is so dysfunctional and fractured. The idea of ``If it's broken, don't fix it'' isn't just some mindless cliché.

Even if that should count as an actual reason (it doesn't), there's no reason why a fucking init system should have a Web server built in. Same reason why a bootloader should not be over 30 MB. The only real advantage that I can see from systemd is parallel service startup, which can also be implemented in a sysv style init system anyway.

If you don't want systemd's web server, it's trivial to not have it.
That's not the point. If one wants a Web server, they can configure Apache or nginx or whatever. It doesn't belong in an initialization startup system.
The real advantage of systemd is the declarative approach to init configuration along with server dependency tracking. The speed boost over SysVinit is just a nice side effect and not the intent.
To be fair, I was never opposed to modernizing aspects of SysVinit, I can see in certain situations where one would need something a bit more ``sophisticated'' for more time critical things. There are already are very good init systems like OpenRC in Gentoo and 
rc.d
in FreeBSD that are portable and carry the same basic ``advantages'' as systemd, with much less feature creep and footprint. It was implemented in the major distros because of politics and Poettering's ego, not because it was better in any technical sense.

That's freedesktop.org's favorite trick. Set up an idiotic dilemma between the worst existing solution (or an imaginary one that is even worse, such as ``use old X forever'') and your new shiny turd, then stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that other possibilities even exist. If you are forced to acknowledge it, just FUD it to death like they did with OpenRC in Debian. Since almost everybody has already bought into the dilemma, nobody will check whether any of it is true.

Okay, it appears that the whole flat UI fad is due to some retard design manager at Apple, taking over after Job's death:
https://www.fastcodesign.com/1670760/will-apples-tacky-software-design-philosophy-cause-a-revolt
“It’s visual masturbation,” says one former senior UI designer at Apple who worked closely with Steve Jobs. “It’s like the designers are flexing their muscles to show you how good of a visual rendering they can do of a physical object. Who cares?”

Inside Apple, tension has brewed for years over the issue. Apple iOS SVP Scott Forstall is said to push for skeuomorphic design, while industrial designer Jony Ive and other Apple higher-ups are said to oppose the direction. “You could tell who did the product based on how much glitz was in the UI,” says one source intimately familiar with Apple’s design process.

But before Forstall, it was Steve Jobs who encouraged the skeuomorphic approach, some say. “iCal’s leather-stitching was literally based on a texture in his Gulfstream jet,” says the former senior UI designer. “There was lots of internal email among UI designers at Apple saying this was just embarrassing, just terrible.”
