Why do open source applications need that? You said yourself that users of open source software accept the subpar UX, so what problem are you trying to solve? Making open source development somehow 'riskier' for programmers without simultaneously providing more reward would only drive programmers away.

You don't think they look away to their macOS counterparts and wish these polished apps were available on their Linux machines? I used Linux as my primary device for 2.5 years, then switched to macOS and never looked back. Now I want to bring the same polished user experience to other operating systems using Qt. I believe my latest attempt [1] is the closest to get there without the awful sacrifices of Electron apps. [1] https://www.get-plume.com https://www.get-plume.com
