Definitely, the main thing is that we need a unified UI system.

The web isn't a current solution, although it has the potential to be it.

And there aren't any good desktop solutions because there are so many UI patterns and elements that are required.

what about the ability to create user friendly, customizable shortcuts in the UI of certain products? I really enjoy customizing my android phone with shortcuts that are intuitive to me, such as double tap back arrow --> jump between last open app, and long press menu button --> pull down notification bar from top.

I wish I could define or remap buttons on physical appliances, granted it's an advanced mode common users would not be burdened with.

By being the one that control the UI's look and feel, the ability for power users to create arbitrary UI controls would simply materialize!
