It is about the experience you craft for yourself, my desktop is different than yours, it is supposed to be like that, and is the reason why linux scale from microcontrollers, to game consoles, to datacenters
These people are out of touch
How can anybody distribute complicated software that is supposed to support a wide range of kernels, X11 + Wayland, open + closed source drivers, several desktop environments, etc? To make matters worse there's endless combinatorics in the versions of those packages because nobody can agree on an upgrade strategy.
Maybe we could demand support if we had more users but Linux represents a small fraction of the desktop market.
