From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know whether you're shitting on theme developers or GTK app developers with your comment, but they explicitly state that they think theming is fine, they're just tired of people reporting theme problems as app problems. It's a completely reasonable take.
If I were an app developer I wouldn't want to open a bug report, then spend hours and hours investigating a reported issue, only to find out that my app was never the problem in the first place.
It's more targeted towards the DE developers.
Some use gnome but with their own theme and it can make normal apps look broken.
You can see this if you use an Elementary OS application while still using the default gnome theme as an example.
Or if you use Pop! Shell, and try to use a normal libadwaita app. (Although Pop Shell has gotten better about how they implement their theme)
