I think this argument used to make sense to me as well, but since most apps I interact with are web apps in browsers these days, most of my interactions aren't with native widgets anyway and I don't really care anymore.

Many of us have been bludgeoned by web apps to the point of not caring any more … most web apps are slow, twitchy interfaces that shift constantly and the industry loves it because it allows them to utilize the armies of (used to be cheap) web developers but at a heavy cost to the user experience
