By "mobile" I guess I meant the kind of stuff companies get away with on mobile; walled garden, limited control, aggressive updates, etc. If they would just give control back to the power users, there would be no more discussion about it. They could do it easily but they show no signs of going back. If you're referring specifically to the various DEs on Linux desktop, I agree, there are a ridiculous amount of options, none of them doing "modern" super well. Personally, I'm on Xfce and that is because it doesn't do "modern" on purpose. DEs were feature complete in 1995, everything else has been useless fluff.
