I think open source developers know this but it's not their expertise. What we need is a way to make it easier for people with that expertise to contribute to projects.
Doing a bit of work with GTK I realised just how hard it is to abstract the look/design stuff out, it's very intertwined with the code meaning folks with artistic ability have a steep learning make seemingly minor GUI changes.
This explains why the web looks really good and stuff like electron is attractive.
