Yeah, in making the MuseScore review video, Tantacrul got in communication with the developers. He talked with them about the issues he had found, and they proceeded to fix some of them super quickly and shipped it in a new release iirc. I guess Tantacrul was really impressed and positive about the project, so he decided to continue working with them

...and then he went and did a video on Dorico, which the next version of MuseScore blatantly rips off.

  That is a rather incendiary claim to make with no evidence. Can you provide some context for this assertion?

      Your imgur link isn't working. But looking at those MuseScore 4 shots and comparing them to what I see from the Steinberg website, what I see is mostly superficial aesthetics which are on trend all over—not just notation apps. Certainly no more blatant than the continual tit-for-tat "ripping off" between iOS and Android.

        I tried your imgur link again and it worked this time. What I’m seeing here is a couple of similar arbitrary locations for UI elements, similar use of colour, similar flat design popularised by Microsoft and many elements that are common among most if not all modern sequencers. I get the frustration that arises from a competitor having a similar aesthetic but I’ve used software long enough to know that what makes software great is the details, the nuances, and everything else which distinguishes a program from a Winamp skin.
