I also like the Synology UI. It is helpful to see multiple apps at the same time and is especially useful when moving files around to have two or more file browser windows open.

Without their desktop thing, this would just be "open link in new tab" for the apps you want open at the same time.

Spatial file navigation & manipulation might be the one reasonable reason for the fake desktop.
