Off‑screen Resize Hits Erode Upgrades

When operating systems move interactive hit targets outside visible affordances (e.g., oversized corner radii), they generate measurable usability regressions that make basic tasks harder and lead users to delay or refuse upgrades. Those interface regressions cascade into higher support costs, accessibility harms, slower security‑patch adoption, and increased platform fragmentation. — Small UI decisions at major OS vendors are public‑policy relevant because they affect upgrade rates, digital inclusion, security exposure windows, and who bears the cost of design mistakes (users, IT shops, or taxpayers).
