Everything Wrong with Material 3 Expressive

TLDR

This blog post critiques Google's Material 3 Expressive design update, highlighting numerous inconsistencies and design flaws across various Google apps. The post points out issues such as improper blur effects, mixed border radii, and inconsistent color schemes. Additionally, it criticizes the update for removing useful features in apps like the calculator and for introducing bugs, such as shifting layouts and incorrect font sizes.

Author is a bit of an apple apologist but the inconsistencies like the calculator update are rather striking.

Is this exacerbated by tools like Figma? Designing pixel perfect mockups and then chucking them over the wall for developers to implement?

Or is it deeper? Somewhere further in the designer -> developer pipeline?
