It's not as bad as you say. Ubuntu has made a decent attempt, with some (albeit minor) success. But Ubuntu seems to be moving away from desktop to also focus on cloud stuff. Valve has done a lot of work with Windows compatibility.
One thing I'm observing is that macOS and Windows are basically regressing to have the same type of nonsense and quality issues that are indeed typical on desktop Linux. It's possible (but not certain) that they'll eventually cross paths. Linux might not take over the consumer desktop market (unless it's under a proprietary shell, like Android / ChromeOS), but Linux could possibly take over the high-end/power user/workstation market.

I have been waiting 20 years for the latter and do not expect it to ever happen at this point.
