Sure, but how much time do you really spend looking at the OS UI rather than that of the games and applications you're running when everything is going smoothly?
Very little in my case, so beauty is very low on my list of priorities for an OS of all things.
I don't play games. The only real customization I do to how the UI looks, is to put it in dark mode. Because of these, and some other factors, the OS UI is front and center for me. So, I would like a beautiful, yet highly usable, OS. Something that just works well for my use cases, and looks good doing it.
My preferred OS may not be your preferred OS. And, you know what? I like that. It means that we get a choice in look and feel, we're not all stuck on the same OS, and we get to learn how others use computers and other people's preferences in UI. It's awesome!
