To be honest, I'm kind of afraid that Linux will go the day of Windows with zero UI consistency because of apps that can't be themed to even look vaguely similar or may even take over the window decorations.
I kinda liked it more when gtk-qt was still a thing and you could actually get a semi-unified look for the while environment.
Linux has never had UI consistency. If you came to it during a brief period of time when a select subset of software that you used seemed to share some consistency, that's was coincidental.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Software should be in constant flux and evolving. As part of that alternatives constantly compete and on Linux all the upheaval is done in the open.
Gtk and QT weren't consistent but there was a Gtk style that used QT as a rendering backend, which allowed you to get some semblance of consistency. Then they came up with Adwaita, which doesn't really allow that anymore.
Qt is a thing. Idk why all these environments are messing around with a GTK that's being sabotaged/neglected by GNOME while Qt just keeps working.
