Nobody bats an eye when apps built for Windows don't adhere to its design patterns. Some goes to a large extent for MacOS. I swear Linux users have the stranges

  I mean, most Windows UIs look like shit, they look like something that would be at a DMV. We Linux users do like our desktops to be sleek, badass, and sci-fi ...

  Mac users are worse than ordinary Linux users I think (writing this as a Linux user who right now uses a Mac :-) As an ordinary Linux user I at least welcome all applications with bonus points if they are well integrated into KDE. Maybe the Gnome crowd is more picky?

    Longtime mac users definitely have a preference for apps that are not only native, but designed to be good citizens of the mac desktop by abiding by its UI conventions, feature progressive disclosure of power user features, etc.

  To be fair, even Microsoft isn't consistent on what people feel like native should look like. I'm primary a linux/mac user as home, but at work I have to use Windows 11. It is surprising that Microsoft gets paid the Windows given that the control panel has a new updated UI that meshes with Windows 11 fairly well, but then you open up something in control panel and need to access more advanced features and your greeted by a UI that I am pretty sure is from Vista or 7. A standard winforms UI looks totally different from a WinUI. Yes, technically they are all native, but they all look completely different.
