Basically the answer to your question is yes, they can not do that (yet).  
There aren't enough people working on the software to make every ideal thing 
happen.  Even linux distros took a long time to get the features you mentioned.

Only Microsoft has all the modern graphical stuff people want, because only 
Microsoft has the resources and the drive to make it happen.  Even with more 
money added you might not find Solaris with a modern GUI, simply because the 
culture behind it is not one that values the GUI as much as say, the Windows 
culture.
