I think the only way you can consider iOS “amateurish” is according to a ridiculously high standard for phone software that Apple itself is responsible for normalizing.

I just want them to fix bugs and stop with the unnecessary redesigns. Each redesign seems to increase the focus on aesthetics at the expense of usability. And the bugs remain.
That's what I want from software development in general. Stop redoing the UI because your designers got bored. It is good like it is, leave it be. Literally nobody likes when the UI changes drastically overnight, stop it!
The transparencies and slightly laggy animations (at least on iPhone 15: this overall hurts usability for me) do bring Windows Vista memories though
Unfortunately, the only real comparison for iOS is past versions of iOS; until that changes I don’t see things getting better in any stable way.
iOS 26 actually has a lot of great features and convergence with the rest of the ecosystem (e.g. preview is awesome). But it lacks the polish that Apple has a reputation for; unfortunately 50% worse polish for Apple is still significantly better than Android and Windows. There just aren’t greener pastures to move to.
This is it, the grass is not greener on the other side unless you're moving over here. I don't understand why people who live on those less green pastures continuously wish for the greener pasture to be more like what they have now.
