Windows 7 did it like 15 years ago
Windows 7's had more character.
Windows 7 built a design language around it, transparency was never the main attraction.
Which is smart. Contrast is king, especially on consumer hardware where grandma might not see too well in her late age. It wasn't the glass effects of Vista or Yosemite that appealed to people, it was the high-contrast UI elements and skeuomorphic design elements (neither of which are present in liquid glass).
