I know of a lot of people like that, when presented with very illogical UI decisions, or controls that look absolutely nothing like the rest of the system, they just cannot see what the issue is. I wonder if it’s poor eyesight, lack of attention, or whatever.

I suspect it’s that they don’t care. It’s not an issue for them because they don’t use the missing native functionality anyway.

Also, if you frequently use cross platform software on multiple platforms, it’s possible consistency within the app is more important than consistently with the OS.

And thanks to the 'native ui' purists which you can never satisfy, now we are drowning in webapps and electron. How native does thst feel?

People that come from a Linux desktop background seem to be immune to these things. The rough sandpaper that is open source UI will eventually wear anyone’s awareness down.
