Not caring that it feels bad and "wanting a similar experience" are two completely different things. Zero people crave a user experience being how it is because it's similar to the experience on another platform.

Count one here. The main thing for me is: does it solve my problem? Not: is it native/does it look unique, etc.

"Does it solve my problem" is not "does it look like it looks for other people".

And frankly, I think you would be pretty annoyed to try to use software that's designed to look and work like Windows 8's half-baked Metro UI if you're on Mac or Linux. What you said comes from a place of assuming it's a good baseline.
