Indeed, which is a good thing.  Not everyone works or thinks the same.

Maybe.  Most are going to follow the classic Windows 95 paradigm to a
greater or lesser extent.  This has been my experience with KDE, Xfce,
and Lxqt.  It has been years since I tried Mate or Cinnamon but I'd put
them in this category, though that might be a bit unfair.

GNOME tosses all that away and has built, IMO, a remarkably better
system, but it's quite different.  I've been using GNOME nearly
exclusively for nearly seven years and everything else seems archaic.

About 18 months ago I tried the new Plasma 6 for a time on a laptop I
have Arch installed and after several months replaced it with GNOME.
There were just too many inconsistencies.  GNOME isn't perfect, but it's
quite consistent.
