Lets now hope that they reverse the colours to how they would be, dark for when something is not active, and light for when it is - just like the old times.

Accessibility settings in MacOS, iOS and iPadOS have become a dumping ground for settings that have nothing to do with physical accessibility. Clearly, Apple is trying to score political points by moving settings from application/hardware preferences and burying them in Accessibility, in order to inflate the number of available settings. Apple wants to say "Look at us, we have this Accessibility thing with all these settings" when many of those settings should be located in more appropriate places.

Moving settings from the application/hardware preferences and burying them in Accessibility is not helpful at all. It just causes more irritation because people now have to look in two places to find things: the application/hardware preferences and Accessibility. Accessibility has become as convoluted as iTunes and this helps no one.
Definitely agree with you that many setting are in the wrong, counterintuitive place--but not sure it's a bid to "virtue-signal" the number of Accessibility features. That seems like a stretch.

You know since Safari went with the new-style tab "bar" there's always been something vaguely awkward... uncomfortable... unbalanced... disconcerting... about it. I could never quite decide what it was, but it bothered me. And now I realize this was it. As your excellent article writer says, bring the tabs closer to the content. I'd even suggest trying the Favorites bar *above* the URL -- so it's like "All Possible Options --> Where You Are Now --> Site Content" from the top down. Is Jony hiring???
