You shouldn’t push for the same human interface on different platforms, they all have their own conventions that applications need to fit.

At least back in the 1980s and 1990s, cross-platform toolkits tried to look native everywhere, and that’s why.

Have you mailed Google customer support to do so with their Gmail?

Today, web apps are getting to the point that it can functionally be called 'apps' (whatever its definition is) and we're all seeing exactly the same UI from every platform and people seem to be just fine with that.
