How to disable liquid glass in iOS 26?

Is there a way to completely disable the liquid glass functionality on iOS 26? I'm not going to get into a lengthy diatribe over why it's awful, I just want it gone.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

How do I disable liquid glass The 'liquid glass' effect introduced in iOS 26 is distracting and an accessibility nightmare. I know that you can reduce the transparency in settings, but this also adds opaque boxes around things that were fine before iOS 26. I do not want this enabled on any of my apple devices, how do I disable it? (Note: I don't know why apple thinks I am talking about an iPhone 5s on iOS 12, I posted this on an M2 MacBook Air and use a 2nd generation iPhone SE.)
