You're saying it like it's a bad thing. This is one of the major reasons I use FOSS UNIX-like operating systems. (Not just linux, but FreeBSD too.) Because the desktop environment of my choice has stayed the same for more than 20 years without the need to relearn everything and adjust your workflow every time somebody in Microsoft needs a promotion. Scary to think how much time for bullshitting on internet forums has been saved over that period.

And, if you appreciate consistency that much, even CDE is available as an option (although I don't love it that much).
