I don't think charming naivete follows from the attitude of "Man, I have enough money. I'm going to do other things now."
I find it hard to imagine that a unified look and feel will be equally useful. The software is used on a very wide variety of devices with wildly different screen sizes, aspect ratios, and input devices. I don't WANT the same control scheme on my smartphone as my desktop!

Ohmygod... did that nearly happen? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!
Wow, cutting the Woz out? No way. He may be less famous, but he may be more important historically.
Don't pretend those warnings were well written. They boiled down to 'Do you want to run this? y/n", and it taught poorly educated users to just click yes/allow until it ran.
