I also noticed this. But I have the mind frame that they are still a fairly "new" company, 3 years old, compared to Dropbox, 9 years old, and their growth and features continue to improve. In saying that, I would definitely prefer a more native look on macOS.
Besides that sync was quite slow compared to Dropbox.
I'm from a place in Australia with a generally slow Internet speed, especially upload speed, and may not have noticed this pitfall as much as others might.
I mostly use Resilio Sync besides Dropbox. It works really great: fast syncing, nice user interface, etc. What keeps me from fully switching is that I hit some nasty bugs in the past (e.g. all folders suddenly getting disconnected, etc.).
I recently signed up for Sync.com, due to their prioritisation of security features and they seem like a good company.
I also tried sync.com recently. Unfortunately, the client did not look very native on macOS (poking around revealed a lot of .exe files, so I guess they are using Mono). Besides that sync was quite slow compared to Dropbox.
