It's the basic trade off of short term vs long term reward.
Using closed source is like having a diet of candy. Great in small amounts, but bad if you are past 5 years old. And ridiculous if you are writing articles to defend it.
Or, you know, forever. The number of things the Linux Desktop community is actively hostile to that could make computing life so much simpler is ridiculous. Portable applications? Relative icon paths in .desktop files? A standardized set of base libraries developers can rely on being present? Linux Desktop cares not for such things. If you don't want to do things their way, fuck you, that's their motto. Then they wonder why people keep choosing other OSs.
I definitely feel your pain (I can't count the number of times I have run into UX issues on various Linux distros, and in search for a fix/answer find many people that ran into the exact same issue but find that the maintainer has stubbornly refused to consider changing or fixing it), but really? If you don't like something on Linux, you can fork and fix it yourself.* If you don't like something on Windows or macOS, it's Microsoft and Apple that are telling you 'fuck you, deal with it.'
* Whether or not doing so is feasible is a different story..
