Not just absurdly complicated, but also absurdly inconsistent. If you write an app in JS+HTML+CSS and use Electron to deploy it, the UI could literally be anything, as can the controls, etc. Nothing matches the OS UI neither, and standards have gone out of the window :(

For example my work computer is a Mac and my personal laptop runs Windows & Linux and I specifically like when application's UX is consistent across the different operating systems...
