Could not express this better. And I fully agree with regard to the
direction development of GNOME is going.

Two years ago, after I finished using Ubuntu 10.04 (with GNOME 2) long past
its EOL date, I moved to Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3. I was (and still am, to
the part) heavily disappointed how many useful features have disappeared
from default GNOME apps and how poorly customizable is that DE compared to
its previous incarnation... :( And all this seems to be for the sake of more
Windows-like and more Android-like look and feel... :(
