Yup.
I would quibble over:

The problem is that people don't want one single thing from desktop Linux. For some people, for instance, remoting the whole GUI over the network is really important, whereas TBH I suspect that for most people, it isn't important at all and in fact is not only irrelevant, it's actually a hindrance to stuff they want, such as (random examples) very high frame-rate 3D-accelerated true-colour graphics driven by a modern GPU.
And I suspect that you can't have it both ways.
Me, I want independently settable fractional scaling on multiple monitors. I don't give a stuff about frame rates, resolution, hi-DPI support, OpenGL, any of that, but what my 2015 Retina iMac does -- plug in a screen and whatever its DPI the OS just magically adjusts the display settings so everything remains the same size -- that is very important to me. I don't want to do it myself. I don't want or care about or need 3D or anything. I just want all my screens to be nice and sharp and show the same thing at the same size. Resolutions are a trivial implementation detail I don't care about.
My impression is that this isn't on the radar of any mainstream distro.
As for my desktop, I want to be able to place toolbars or panels on the edges of the whole desktop, across 2 or 3 or more screens, where I choose, not where the programmers chose. GNOME is not even able to think about this idea. You get what the designers chose because they know best.
KDE used to do it, badly. KDE 5 does it worse. I don't like it, either.
Oddly, for all the hoopla about Gtk $VERSION and weird stuff about refresh rates and stuff I don't care about, Xfce, the old-fashioned low-tech desktop does this best. Go figure.
All of them are rubbish compared to how macOS handles this stuff, and Windows 10 was only a bit better. Windows 11 is as broken as GNOME etc.
That's progress. Apparently.
It makes me want to go back to a text-only console sometimes. But I am very very old and opinionated, and then I blow the minds of all the xNix fans by saying that I don't actually like the xNix shell and never did. Any of them from `sh` to `fish`, they all annoy me. I preferred the MS-DOS and OpenVMS command lines, myself.
Since most other people who can remember before xNix ruled the waves are retired or dead, that is foul heresy to most techies alive today.
