Is it bad to use someone else's UI as a basis for design?

Hello.
It just so happens that I'm a big fan of iOS7 UI. I like everything, each element is a mystery to me on the one hand, and an ideal on the other.
Not surprisingly, when trying to make a good design, I start borrowing elements from iOS.
An idea came up recently. Make a site that will not have a main page, directories, pagination. The site will have a right column with "Publications", "Comments" tabs, and a left tab with the selected publication in the "Publications" tab. By default, just the last post will be available by /.
The idea took such a turn that I just copied the iOS UI for the iPad.

1. I understand that everything has been invented a long time ago and it makes no sense to come up with something fundamentally new, for the sake of a fundamentally new one. There is a sense in more convenient, but here, iOS I will not surpass.
2. How will the user react to such a turn - an iOS application in Chrome on Windows? Personally, I would classify it as a divorce, phishing (?).

If this is a fragment of the standard macOS interface, then I would not make commercial sites in this style. It may be illegal.
So, for yourself to indulge, practice typesetting and programming. For fun only.

Yes, I would also treat it as phishing. And how do you argue the style of iOS? "I like it" is not an argument. And the camera icon is to take a picture? And the idea of ​​the site is incomprehensible to me, looking at the screen. I think it's an app and I'm being scammed. Something like this :)
Regarding the question about someone else's UI - if this UI is for the web, then why not. Is it desirable to bring something of your own. At least the colors. Well, using the same UI all the time is a bit bad manners, although it depends on the task. (For example, if you are making some standard, inexpensive solutions, then you can resort to this.)
But the mobile OS interface is sharpened for a touch screen, and this justifies decisions in such an interface.
