Offer not good for user interfaces. :)
At least in the Gnu-slash-linux world it's like this. I once fixed a volume slider widget where the lowest value was almost zero. I can't be sure, but it's quite possible that when I realized the stupidity of that bug I took a break and went back to my regular job.
Nearly every open source UI I've ever seen looks as if it were designed as a gift for the in-laws on Christmas eve.
The exceptions generally leverage the web (or borrow large parts from it). That's why people are revving their Electron monster trucks in your craggy-ass Gnu-slash-linux parking lot.
