In some aspects it does, for example a lot of Gnome apps have very minimal designs. That's ok for individual apps. The problem is, you can't really apply that to a chat tool that needs to be used by everyone in a large community. The problem space itself requires you to deal with a lot of complex and competing interests and make difficult compromises, so you can't always please the minimalists trying to run IRC bots off a ESP32.
