Native interface expectations are only really a thing on MacOS at this point. I agree that they are often slower, but "ugly" is an opinion, one that I happen to disagree with. Native widgets feel primitive and dated to me.

Have you tried using a different theme?

I use MacOS so I don't think that's possible (unless you mean "dark mode"). But in any case, I am not talking about colors but general fidelity.

Compared to what? I honestly don't know what other people consider state of the art interfaces if native apps are excluded.

Compared to the web. I consider apps like Linear to be ones spearheading UI paradigms at the moment.
That app doesn’t look novel in any way.
Sure, if one is easily satisfied and has low expectations, it's perfectly satisfying!
