I don't think that's part of their decision making, Liquid Glass moved most things around for seemingly not much else than novelty and that's not the first time.

Liquid Glass makes sense if this is what they are working towards: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/20th-anniversary-iphone/

They have done this before, release something large early in anticipation of a major shift and iron out issues before the shift happens. Liquid Glass started off a little janky but they appear to have been ironing out initial issues with each update.

Yea, if anything, it's Apple's normal mode to heavily disturb and move things around.

When a company doesn’t have anything to innovate on, or hires a new marketing exec, the first thing they do is change the company logo.

Liquid Glass was Apple’s logo change moment
