The menu icons have been completely redrawn

The only way for me to buy Fritz again is if the engine is a new version of Franz Morsch. Fritz Morsch NNUE !
It's since Fritz 15 that they only change icons. Fritz 20 also gives only 2 months of Premium account so it doesn't worth to pay 69€ for an engine that is still 300 ELO weaker than Stockfish 17.1 and 200 ELO weaker than Obsidian and PlentyChess. The GUI is also full of new bugs (eg: preferences and even the windows sizes not saved) while they have never fixed the old ones (eg: engine games resuming after internet disconnection)

I'd expect Fritz 20 to come close to breaking into the top 12 engines (CCRL), so your statement seems to be a gross exaggeration.
Time will tell.
