A first-rate desktop experience would include first-rate GUI apps.

  Which first-rate GUI apps do you think are missing?

    It’s not just about features but also a uniform and intuitive GUI across all apps and the OS.

      What calendar year did you just crawl out of? The majority of Windows and Mac users rely on cross-platform Electron apps and web browsers more than any other type of software (including native apps). The only constituent market that demands native OS APIs is PC gaming, which has had commercial-quality Linux alternatives for years now. Furthermore, anyone that used Windows or MacOS in the 90s will gladly tell you that today's preinstalled apps are either garbage (Apple Music/Groove), adware (Apple News/MSN News) or entirely useless (Candy Crush/AppleTV). If users actually cared about uniformity, intuition and quality then they'd be using the software from 30 years ago. Guess what? Users don't actually care about native software quality that much. They want a web browser and an Electron runtime, if people needed "first-rate native GUI" anything then nobody would know how ChromeOS or SteamOS worked. Clearly it is not a problem for the overwhelming majority of customers today.
