It really does come down to the particulars here, but there is serious value in making UI consistent between applications. Every time a user comes to an application they have to figure out the primitives from the ground up. Where things go and why, in what order, what it does, and what the names for everything is. You copied a competitor (unintentionally), and now when someone comes to your application from the other side, they have to work out how to work things. Your UI has to not just be better, but better while accounting for the relearning users must do. Imagine if there were patents on the File menu, for example (knowing US patents, I'll bet there's a menagerie of them, mostly owned by FAANG in their MAD warchests). I'd prefer devs not get creative here, unless the gains are substantial.
