The fact that there exist other clients that are specifically "built with user experience in mind" (Ditto) or built "to be a Matrix app that everyone can use" (Pattle) sometimes makes me wonder why that would not also be the goal of the official client?

I think RiotX is supposed to replace Riot eventually, at least the Android client https://github.com/vector-im/riotX-android. Didn't find a link for an iOS client though.
