Should we? Yes, I get that looks nice, but it can be at the cost of functionality.  In the end, I sit in front of computer to do work, not be entertained by pretty things, especially the lowly boot process.  That's like bragging about how cool the spark plugs look in your new car.

I'm sure it is.  That's the unfortunate, inexorable trend.  And I'd be totally okay with this ... if only I never had the problems that make these changes more painful.  Unfortunately, those problems are just as frequent as ever (and likely always will be when running against such diverse hardware) but the barrier to resolve them keeps getting more challenging.  That's a terrible trade-off IMHO for what amounts to nothing than aesthetics.  Apple can get away with this because the own platform top to bottom.  We don't have that luxury.
if they want, revert) a changed default
Again, this only applies to a system that once worked where you can make that change.  When fighting a borked system where the install fails this isn't an option.
