No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

how so? They're still bulb shaped most the time.
I mean, they are just small diodes inside, if they have a bulb shape it's just some plastic to have it be a familiar shape. I'd even argue most new light fixtures these days come in all sorts of shapes, and in my home, for example, I don't even have a bulb shape.
You're right to be fair, a lot of them do retain that shape for purely aesthetic reasons, but it's not a functional part of the light source any longer.
It's functional in so far that it does protect the LED elements and makes the device better to handle.
