You’re not alone, “good enough” always bums me out too. It’s why I’m a big fan of sites/services that open up their APIs or use open protocols/standards — even if the service provider has decided to settle on their client app, I personally don’t have to. I can seek out alternative client apps where workmanship is a focus or if so inclined build my own.
Though compare this to the typical Linux experience of a closed-source application (especially non-x86_64): no experience or reverse-engineered with a cease-and-desist letter after it gains any sort of traction.
Usually you wait til someone gets fed up and builds a GPL-licensed clone.
