In practice, what people tend to want when they complain about that is
the ability to turn it off without having to abandon what they're using.

In theory, I could boot this computer straight into some implementation
of Pong. Does that mean I can't complain about some issue I might find
e.g. in Linux or in the bootloader?

You mean, run the same apps under a different GUI? That works on Linux 
just fine.

If you are happier with Pong, by all means stick with that. Leave Linux 
(and its bootloaders) to those who are able to get more use out of it.

No, under the same GUI but with the annoying bits turned off.

Why do you have to classify it as the “same” GUI, when it behaves 
differently?

I've been trying hard to avoid that... and it's not like my "killfile"

   I use LightDM as much as possible - It works, it's
   fairly light and I understand the config file. It
   works fine with XFCE and LXDE ... all I use.

   May not be The Fastest That Ever Was under all
   circumstances, but 'convenience' and maturity
   DO count a lot. I don't game, I don't try to
   stream 8K video. I don't want eye-candy.

What do you think about Genera (the Symbolics Lisp Machine OS)?
I think it had a very good GUI that combined CLI and GUI in a symbiotic way.

I found some docs at Bitsavers. Genera became “Open Genera”, which was 
made available on DEC Alpha machines, as just another X11 client.

That, to me, shows the benefits of modularity that X11 gave to the *nix 
world. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Apple (and other proprietary vendors, 
including Be and NeXT) were busy tying their GUIs inextricably into the OS 
kernel, so it was not modular and replaceable.

That one's still on my to-do list as far as trying it out. (I have a
couple Alpha boxen I could run it on, just haven't gotten around to it.)
From what I've seen looking at overviews/screenshot tours, it strikes
me as one of those systems that's heavily tailored and likely very nifty
for one specific use case or workflow, much like Plan 9 - I prefer a
user environment that's more generalized and agnostic about what you're
doing to one that's hyper-focused on assisting with the *doing* part,
when what I actually *want* to do may not be the thing it was designed
to facilitate.

(My overall philosophy of computer interaction: I want something simple
and consistent in the mechanics so's I don't waste mental energy having
to *think* about how it works, and beyond that I'd prefer it to stay
out of my way and just let me work. All other things being equal, I'd
*also* like it to be aesthetically pleasing.)

But this is, admittedly, first impressions from a distance; should
really get around to trying it sometime.

What those 'developers' overlooked is that we didn't 'reinvent the 
wheel'.

A modern wheel is, functionally, largely the same as that chariot wheel 
a thousand years ago.

What got 'invented' were better materials out of which to make said 
wheel (iron, steel, aluminum, various rubber compounds for tires, etc.) 
and better ways of attaching the wheel to the axle (bearings, 
lubricants, etc.) and better ways of suspending the axle to allow 
greater movement of the axle than the carriage (suspension arms, 
springs, shock absorobers to quell oscillations in those springs, etc.).

But the 'wheel' itself (a round disk attached to an axle so it can 
rotate) did not get reinvented.

Some get so wrapped up in "inventing a new (different) wheel" they 
completely forget about "inventing an improvement in the existing 
wheel" is also very much a thing.

Among the categories of fundamental mechanisms, we find, not the wheel as 
such, but the wheel and axle.

Because a wheel without an axle to spin round isn’t much use.

But nobody says “reinvent the wheel and axle” in a disparaging way, do 
they? Because that has been done countless times, in countless ways, using 
different technologies for different applications each time.

Yes, so you never use anything because their remains always some bug and
you wait till there's no more need than bug to release it. Good idea.

In aircraft design, if there is a bug, the fleet may well be grounded 
till its foxed.

You can only do what you can do. But if software were simply revised to 
clear out bugs it would be a lot more stable than adding superflous 
features.

Yes, but then it wouldn't be shiny, let alone fashionable.
In aircraft design, the goal is to not kill anybody.
In consumer software, the goal is to sell as many copies
as possible, as often as possible.  If there are bugs,
you sell them a bug fix.  If the bug fix introduces more
bugs, you sell them another bug fix.  Lather, rinse, repeat.
