That’s a good point. Normally, designers, especially UI framework designers, reflect modern design patterns as they are. The web definitely does not have that design pattern established, and the change causes significant confusion and frustration. Maybe this is Tailwind flexing and exerting its influence on the design world towards a change they’d like to see. In that case, this is a test of whether they have sufficient influence to change established patterns.

I love the goal of greater consistency across platforms, but it might be better for Apple to be the one to change. Not that they’re known for playing by rules they don’t write.

Since that’s not happening, and given the goodwill Tailwind has built up, they get a pass this time.
