I think UI customizations are (for the most part) more important to new
Linux users who are experimenting. For someone like me, I just want the
UI to look and work pretty much the way it did the last release or three
releases earlier. (Small changes don't take too long to get used to. I
may be in the minority here, I don't know.

 
Some of the subreddits like r/Fedora often have posts 'look at the
beautiful desktop I made'.  Yawn.

Meanwhile, Mac users all have the same desktop and use computers that
all look exactly the same, and they still swear by their platform. It
looks like aesthetics play a much smaller role in people's preferences
than expected.

Aesthetics don't mean that much to me, but a clunky UI is a pretty rapid
deal killer. I consider Mac's OS slightly "clunky" But any OS (not Cinnamon)
I consider slightly "clunky" these days. I'm pretty much set in my ways. It
must have something to do with being old.
