KDE and GNOME both solve this with a dock, the same way that Windows and macOS solve it.

Not by default, GNOME doesn't. Try installing Ubuntu. You get nothing but a blank desktop by default. The bar at left only shows shortcuts for launching tasks, not running tasks themselves.

Your perspective as a DOS/PowerShell user is not any more valuable, considering you barely use Windows as-is.

Those advocating an OS with 5% market share might do well to listen to other perspectives once in a while.
