On a side note, and not wanting to criticize the people that spend their time working on something like this, that UI is the main reason why I still use Windows and macOS. Light grey on a white background, dark grey on a that blue background, a black AMD logo on a dark grey background, the padding around the text inside boxes...
I feel bad saying this when it's a free tool, but it's a shame that open source projects struggle so much with UI stuff.

That's just the theme the author is running. If you use a use a standard theme, you'll get a higher contrast text color.
The UI is pretty much a copy of CPU-Z's UI. The color scheme comes from the theme and you can use any theme you like, you don't have to use what the author uses.

MacOS and specially Windows has their fair share of great and useful software with questionable UI/UX, this is far from a problem affecting only Linux.
Take a look at modern KDE and specially GNOME software, they are pretty well made regarding UI/UX best practices and GNOME even has a great HIG that they follow strictly on their stuff, you can't even say that regarding Microsoft own software anymore.

Gnome is not bad, but GTK has been historically a pain point for development.

Add the Jetbrains search anywhere function if you really just innovate.
the daemon separates userspace from root domain, and ensures that the code running with root privileges is very small and easily auditable

Maybe I am dumb, but why does it have to be a daemon? Why not have the user process fork off the privileged binary to collect data and return the results through stdout?

Forking a process is not free and starting one every hundred of a millisecond* seems very expensive. *I'm do not know which frequency it updates the data but it's usually 1 sec to 0.1 sec.

At least in the Flatpak, it can be started by just clicking the "Start daemon" button.

I use it without the daemon. I don't even know what the daemon does.
