Even before the current fucked up state of affairs, lobbying was (and still is) a thing.

I used them for a couple of years. But I kept finding that when I went to re-sign up for new vendors they wouldn’t support the cards for some reason. Has this gotten better?

I ran gnome for about a decade. I really didn’t like how a lot of bits and pieces of it worked so I went and found all of the plugins and religiously installed and updated them. Updates what happened, crab would break, I’d just have to deal.

At some point I tried KDE. And it literally did everything that I was doing to gnome through plugins out of the box.

I’m all about configurability but I’m also a pretty big fan of not having to fuck with it because it already does what I want out of the box.
