No. Liquid glass wont even make it past 1 macOS/iOS release.
In fact Apple has already scaled back many of the glass UI parts they've shown in the earlier demos and betas.
It's an ill-though change for change's sake. Nobody is that impressed.
Flat design was more fully thought. But even that was useless and ultimately user hostile.
"Skeuomorphic" (which is mistankenly called that, few parts of OS X or Windows at the time were actually skeuomorphic in nature) was just better UI.
They would have to fire Alan Dye for that to happen. Discontinuing it without blaming something or someone would be an admission that Apple isn't perfect, and they don't have it in them to do that. I suppose it's either their own egos, or legal won't let them because it will open them up to lawsuits.
Readability is paramount. Websites and now user interfaces trash it. The ONLY reason my iPhone is usable is the fact that I am very nearsighted and just take my glasses off, and at my age, I will probably get 20/20 distant-only vision soon.
Icons? Spotlight or Quicksilver are my app launchers already, when icons are unclear.
It will be reading glasses or a magnifying phone case. Do you know of any? Business opportunity?
I do not like the business of unequal L/R vision. An optometrist tried that once (without asking) and I felt like my brain was being sheared. I asked for an got equal sight in both eyes.
