I'm not blaming GNOME either.

However, fact remains that libadwaita has sucked a lot of air out of the room for desktops like Xfce, and they're obviously feeling the squeeze. It's definitely not GNOME's job to cater to non-GNOME desktops, but there's no denying that the heavy focus on libadwaita is having negative side effects, and pointing that out should not be dismissed as being "anti-GNOME".

GNOME is a great desktop, and its developers are doing an amazing job, libadwaita included. That does not mean, however, that libadwaita's negative side effects on Xfce and other non-GNOME GTK-based desktops magically go away. They're experiencing real issues over there, and waving them away feels deeply unfair to the people working on Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, and others.
