UX/UI Design seems to be fundamentally different from the rest of software development, in that it does not work well in a "Bazaar" model: there needs to be a single responsible individual that has the power to make decisions and have them respected. Another theory is that the UI actually makes up a far larger share of development work than most assume, and that this is therefore the part where limited resources are most felt. A somewhat similar part that somewhat supports this theory is the install/update process. Regarding ElementaryOS: there's nothing uglier than trying to steal a good design and just failing to even understand it.
