A UI refresh is needed? Maybe.
Material You? Absolutely not. Absolutely not me, and never has been.
It can have "you" in the name when the UI becomes customizable, and not just dark/light/whatever, but the silliest things everything after Material 1 (the true Material) has brought: rounded corner radiuses and margin sizes.
I don't know but that's for sure it has become as slow as what people call modern android. It's literally slower with 0 addons than old firefox with loads of tabs and addons, which I still have in parallel.
But the things you dislike about Material You are the things that my mum loves, the larger tap areas, the ease of reading, etc.
Take Sync for Lemmy for Example or Auxio, these are beautifully designed Material You apps that look good and function well.
Ok, but I'm not your mum. I guess there are multiple demographics with different needs. I want to fit more on my screen, not less, and I don't want to bring a 22" display with me for that purpose.
I'm happy that you like them.
As I said, material you will only deserve it's name when it will mandate adapting to the user. Until then, it's just a marketing name, a huge lie.
