They are quite different. The fear is unwarranted.

Are they? I'm pretty sure several of them are just stolen straight from older versions of Windows.
Serenity is an amazing accomplishment. It’s odd to me though because I always hated the windows interface, even 3.11. It seems a lot of modern Linux desktops (I know serenity isn’t Linux) try to emulate the feel of modern windows but it ends up looking like a meh version of an already bad interface imo. I still prefer the look of enlightenment or motif+4dwm.
The classic Unix interface that always seemed nicest to me was Sun's OpenLook.
