Be careful conflating "cant change" (apple) and "shouldn't change" (GNOME, not that I agree that is the gnome position, if there is one, BTW)

The former is anti FOSS, the latter seems like good engineering based on limiting the scope of work to maximize the experience based on limited development resources.

Some people (not you actually, your reply was reasonable) have an undeserved sense of entitlement in FOSS, it is not enough that you get the GNOME code and have the freedom to break it to your will, those people require everyone else to do the work and bend it to their will. Not liking the GNOME direction or plans does not make them OMG APPLE EVIL.
