    respect for the user, consistency, customisability,

    Customizability, absolutely. But Linux has a distinct lack of respect for users (from a GUI perspective) and consistency. Customizability is frequently in direct conflict with consistency. Different distros have different GUI’s. The apps in the distros use different toolkits for their development which yields wildly inconsistent GUI’s inside the programs.

      Whoa, different developers making entirely different projects might do things differently? That’s unfathomable!

      I can’t believe that Discord and Steam and Firefox have different UI’s on Linux! Oh, they’re also different on windows and MacOS.

      It’s almost like any app on any operating system is going to have a different gui!
