If you think it looks unpolished, then you're missing the point of having different UI kits. Mobile and desktop are not the same and does not have the same needs, eg. fancy animations when scrolling or tapping or moving between interfaces.

The world of iOS and iPadOS is meant for touch and caters to the consumer. Mac OS is meant for mouse and keyboard caters to consumers but it also serve as a development platform for its app ecosystem. As such it need to get out of way too.

Both platforms fulfill different needs. I'm personally glad Mac OS does not look nor behave like either iOS nor iPadOS, even though Apple is definitely trying to add a bit of the same UI with each Mac OS iteration.
