I don't see why Apple couldn't introduce this to its desktop switching routine. The cube animation already exists for switching users. It would be nice to have the option when switching desktops.

Apple hates options of any kind. Their core ideology is "opinionated software". Meaning the software does things one single way, the way they intended, and it does that really well.
It sucks though if you really want things another way. Then you have to mess around with third-party addons that break every time there's a major upgrade. It's the main reason I moved back to KDE (and the OS being closed off more).
I would never choose to use Gnome for this reason because it does the same thing. But at least on FOSS we have many options available, to each their own!
That's just it. Apple would rather provide One True Way to do it. On Mac, cube = switch user, and slide = switch desktop.
Apple is about the minimum amount of features. It's approach is minimalistic to the extreme and that's also good.
It's more or less the same reason why I like Gnome's minimalistic approach.
I have ADHD and everything I DON'T need is an OS that distracts me. FFS, I'd work from a VT-100 (even though I'd prefer a 3278-2 or 3279) if that was possible.
