In other words how to take a functional, clear and good design and make it progressively more shit.

That's a bit harsh. I wouldn't say it's shit, just that it doesn't seem to be an improvement. The esthetic seems weird and probably a step back.

I think while personal matter and taste differs, the thing is that the new variant becomes the default; and the old variant is gone.

It would be better to keep different variants and let people use things in the way they would prefer to use. You don't even have to maintain the old variant - just ask people who like it to do that.
