i never liked aero even as a kid. it looks stupid, my computer is a tool and nothing more.
now, what's the term for this kind of aesthetic? you know, you see it in ATMs/checkout machines/other kinds of embedded systems. it looks jagged but it's rock solid. i like it more.

this is correct
the only way to get proper legacy frutiger experience for zoomoids is old Windows versions
it is impossible to make it work on smartphones - all mobile apps are already updated and dropped support for mobile OS's that are old enough to be a part of frutiger era
I guess no one (normal) is really using Windows XP daily either tho

xp was deemed "fisher price" because it looks like a fucking kids toy with its bright colours and plastic shading

Skeuomorphism just looks meh at best or straight up ugly at worst.
I think Windows 7 design was peak, followed by Windows XP. I also really liked UI design of PS3 menus and other similar technology that gets bundled together as "frutiger areo".
Liquid Ass is poor imitation of Aero and fundamentally flawed as a design. It will always look bad because it neglected function.
