The point is to give some flair to the plain old forms. There's nothing wrong or annoying or misplaced about it. Furthermore I don't think a 1 to 1 match of one digital interface to another is skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphism is mimicking a physical object or interface in a digital form. If this were to look like a piece of paper it'd be skeuomorphic but it looks like a terminal window. If this design is skeuomorphic then by your logic then terminal windows themselves are skeuomorphic in that they mimick any physical printing of text.

Besides disliking skeuomorphism I'm not sure why you're so down on this. Why is that?
