I was working at a radio consulting firm when that Lisa Marie Presley album came out, and occasionally supplementing my meager income via promo CD sales. I sold an advance copy of that particular CD to some gonzo Elvis fan, on eBay, for an insane amount of money. (This was just a few days before the album's release date; I think the buyer just wanted the artifact). I had similar luck with a Def Leppard album, and something else I can't recall.

I totally would not have identified this as a thing, but it does seem to be. Uergh.

I'm trying to post from mobile here and from the look of things, I'm posting broken links.

wondering how much of this blame can fall on apple or if it's vice versa

Looks like Apple used that aesthetic since the 80s, but it may have gotten even “whiter” during the iMac era:
