That's an advantage to you. Not necessarily to your users.

Users don't actually give a shit.

This is a techie complaint, and that's opting for a charitably nice description.

Have you ever had a job as a tech support? If not, you don’t have anything to say.

People do complain about inconsistent UX. Especially when it does not behave like the platform it’s on.

Yeah, I've done that job countless times in my 20 year career.

Knock it off already.

The alternative is not that users get a UI specific for their OS, it is that users get nothing since I do not have the resources to develop for multiple systems. So yes, it is also an advantage to users.
