On a positive note, the answer to the question is the name of the platform. The negative side is much greater and excellently described in a citizen manual "Privacy is Power" by @carissaveliz.bsky.social

Social media encourages us to 'share' online. Facebook's business model depends on people revealing aspects of themselves online. When users share less personal content, Facebook worries and tweaks the platform to encourage more sharing. Share everything you can, is the message. Tell us who you are, tell us how you feel, tell us about your family and friends, tell the world what you think about other people. We want to know. We want to hear what you have to say.

Social media platforms promote a culture in which people are discouraged from holding back. The more people share, the more data can be analysed and used to sell access to us.

Technically, you could've added texture even in material design. Practically, API for doing Material design properly doesn't exist even today. Material design wasn't meant to be 2d, but adding animations or realistic shadows is prohibitively hard even today.

Example of texture in "material design"-ish background
