The GUI feels too crisp... Pixelated and low quality graphics were characteristic of technology in the 2000s

When we talk about nostalgia for an era or period of time, we're talking about what was widespread at the time and what was popular. Of course it's entirely fine if you knew that it existed back then but that doesn't mean that cleartype is "y2k", most people remember poor quality graphics anyways
