why does everyone hate material you? (lemmy.world)

So I switched to a pixel 7 from an iphone 10 xs a few months back, and I've absolutely loved it in comparison to the locked down nature of an iphone. So I think to look up material you on YouTube for fun, and decide to read the comments and found that people hated it. Quick googling led to me to find two reddit threads and an article talking about how much they hated it. Personally, I don't understand the hate, as you can simply choose to have the color be a dullish blue manually.

Idk, it might just be that I haven't been using android long to care about the fact that material you is being forced.

I hate it because I can't change my colors now. I get a reddish brown on dark brown. I prefer white on black, which I've always had until Material You came along. I've researched how to turn it off, and it appears there's no way to do it on my model of phone.

I'd be fine with it, if I could disable it. It's the fact that it chooses your color scheme and you can't change it that is frustrating.

Android 14 comes with a monocolor theme as an option if you want it?

You have to have root, and I don't.
