I really hope that they abandon the project in July of 2025. A hotel with condos and a smaller office component would be nice here.

I think you overestimate what companies who are going to pay to have offices there care about design. In the grand scheme of things this is “filler” for us skyscraper nerds. That’s what I’m getting at. Also BP is a fairly conservative developer when it comes to design of their properties, this design is fine for what it is.
