> I would prefer the apps I use to work and behave in a consistent way, using the same platform idioms I am used to. The software available and how it works was a large part of the reason I chose the platform I did.
There are DOZENS of us!!!
I try my absolute best to find apps that use the native Apple language, both design and code. I can't stand these framework apps. I will Pepsi challenge this with anyone who asks, I can smell a framework app.

The platforms ship with things like keyboard shortcuts for navigation and text entry, minimal accessibility features like screen reading of text and navigation, common idioms like drag and drop and the clipboard - none of which are typically handled by cross-platform widget frameworks by default.
Only gigantic projects like Chrome and VS Code will take on the effort of (partially) reimplementing these in their codebases to match platform behavior.
Do you only use Apple devices? That may be why, because statistically most of the world's population uses Windows and Android where there really isn't a concept of "native" because they each have a few different UI frameworks.
