Desktop icons were removed because they’re (at least in the devs’ opinions), a poor solution.
They were removed because they were never able to make them working properly. It was always an hack and had multiple issues. ANY other OS and DE has desktop icons…
You misunderstand. It was never a mistake. It was always an unfinished project because no one gave a flying…for anything that was of zero value.
Just because you want to use a tweak that carries too little organization and don’t care for the much more efficient method they replaced it with doesn’t mean you can’t go use gorram any other desktop.
Nope. They had it and removed it, and there are plenty of extensions to add them back if you (for some ungodly reason) want them. They’re not in vanilla Gnome because they don’t want them. And they’re right.
Practically all other DEs copy Windows, so yeah, of course they’ll have Windows UX elements.

All the extensions are plagued by the same issue they had before. Drag and drop from apps never working properly, the icon grid behaves incorrectly sometimes and other cosmetic glitches.

Nope. They work fine. Several distros even use them out of the box without issue.
You clearly never used those extensions.
Not for a long time, no. I prefer zero extensions. But back when I did… zero issues.
And right now millions of people do and I don’t see widespread issues.
I think you’re letting your irrational hatred cloud your judgement…
