I tend to make a lot of apps Solarized. E-mail (Mutt/Postbox), Sublime/Vim, iTerm, even HN, for example are all Solarized (dark to be precise). That's also different than the original UI.
Also, for some machines there's no macOS (very high end, and embedded like this one). Hackintosh has its drawbacks, and doesn't exist for ARM.
Regarding Windows, there have been UIs for *NIX which looked like a version of Windows since ever since I started using Linux (RedHat 5.2 somewhere end of 90s).

However, this is completely different than theming an OS to look like another you use: the amount of work to even get something basic is significantly more, and usually the end result sucks regardless.
