You may not like material design (I personally could take it or leave it), but visual design itself matters.
But I can't really tell how TFA is Material Design, it does not really look like any of the versions.
See:

https://m2.material.io/
https://m3.material.io/
Just like a hole in the road matters. /s
I just can't wait for people "designing" material design to grow old. Then they can tell us again how great Material Design is.
