I didn’t know the opposite of terrible UI is dark pattern.

  It isn't, just like opposite of free software is not great UI. Despite that, free software and terrible UI gets conflated; so what's just one more conflation, right?

    "Despite that, free software and terrible UI gets conflated" I wonder why people would conflate those two things? Sure, not all free desktop software is bad, but enough of it is that people prefer the commercial alternatives.

      Replace free with proprietary, commercial with free, bad with dark patterns and that will be just as true as your version.

        “Replace free with proprietary, commercial with free, bad with dark patterns and that will be just as true as your version.” So more people use free desktop software? Hmmm Also, that is the most confusing statement I have ever read.
