Pet peeves:

1) People who conflate aesthetic skeuomorphism with functional skeuomorphism. The skeuomorphism of old iOS apps is not the same as the skeuomorphism of knobs and sliders or of VR. Please stop conflating the two.

2) People who paint skeuomorphism as universally bad. Neither is universally bad. You just have a poor understanding of UO design and/or bad taste in computer aesthetics.
