We’ve definitely gone too far in the opposite direction and everything looks super bland, but I feel like the only person who never liked the translucent plastic era. The insides are on the inside because they’re the part that’s not aesthetically pleasing. There was a period in the early 2000s or so where stuff just had cool case designs (GameCube, original Game Boy Advance; yes, I know there was the translucent Glacier model) and I find those to be the nicest to look at. Still, I’d take translucent colors over the “everything’s a black rectangle” look we have now.

Nah, imo, it’s just because they’re fragile
