I would not judge this kind of glass UI from a hero screenshot anymore. The uncomfortable case is Control Center over widgets, an alert over a bright photo, or a toolbar over a dense list. If the material only works on dark promotional backgrounds, it is not ready as a default surface. My small test set would be: - bright family photo wallpaper - map or video paused underneath - low brightness - larger text - Reduce Transparency or higher contrast on A transparent layer can still look good. I just want the fallback state to look designed, not like a panic switch.
