You are of course entirely correct. Hamburger menus are eye-wateringly poor fallbacks at the best of times, and it's frustrating for me too to see them all over the desktop. I say this to make the point that even though we care, we are simply not able to sustain a divergent UX. I loved the work we did on Unity, controversial as it was, and believe it was taking free software desktops in a good direction, we just couldn't afford it, and that was that. Perhaps in future you'll draw the distinction between the things people care about and the things they are able to change. We are, right now, bringing a very wide range of good things to bear in the field of desktop, appliances, clouds, containers. We just can't manage to have an independent desktop design and delivery program, which I know from experience is a huge amount of work. I'm grateful we can collaborate with existing open source teams, we ship GNOME by default but we also take *care* to help KDE, Mate, and several others with fewer hamburger menus.
