Certain Linux UI stuff can be an opinionated death by a thousand papercuts. Probably because most Linux devs don't dogfood their own stuff as they just stick to the command line anyway, so there's less incentive to fix the UI issues, if nobody in the dev chain is actually using it. I remeber when Linux GUI users were asking for a "Right click -> run/open as root" feature just like in Windows, and the devs basically said something along the lines of "we're not gonna do it just because the way Windows does it means it must be wrong; if you need to run stuff as root it means you're a poweruser so you should use the comand line anyway; you're welcome". Linux Mint was the first and only to have this feature in the GUI early on, then came the other DEs who ceded defeat to sanity.
