IMHO, it is because desktop development is:
1. Fragmented. There are probably an adequate number of developers working on the Linux desktop, but they're working on different desktop environments.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because nearly everyone can find something that suits their tastes.
2. Not funded. There is not enough financial incentive to get something that can truly, truly compete with the likes of macOS and Windows. The closest, I guess, would be ChromeOS, but AFAIK the needed desktop components aren't open sourced in a usable manner.
Note: I primarily run either Ubuntu GNOME, XFCE, or Manjaro as the primary OS on my home PC -- depending on my mood of the week.
