I refer to this as the Japanese car design disease. Lack of any
angularity. It plagues most middle-class cars on the road.

Most cars, cameras and other mass produced items are pressed or moulded. In
order be able to get the pressing or moulding out of the machine it needs to
taper and have smoothed corners. You can make shells by machining or
folding, but the results are expensive or poor respectively.

And they can do angles but they've devolved to the 1950's again.
