By and large, translucent electronics made today wouldn't be as visually interesting as, say, a clear Game Boy. Ultrabooks and smartphones are about 90% battery, there's not much to see besides a flat boring slab. But those AirPods are gorgeous, I would throw mine in a lake and buy those in a heartbeat.
Not only that, I wish 20 years after G4 Cube we could figure out way for translucent casing not turn yellow after a few years.
