The two proprietary desktops are so feature-bloated that it's hard to say exactly what "creative inspiration" was taken but KDE devs have talked about how they noticed Windows likes to copy KDE and even Deepin for their desktop for the "new and improved" ugly bottom bar that Windows users love to tell everyone they hate.

MacOS and Windows and KDE all use Qt as their toolkit so it's not hard to see the similarities.

? QT supports MacOS, Windows, and KDE and is very popular but is only the default toolkit for KDE.

Sorry I was wrong about that part, MacOS and Windows use their own proprietary application stack.

They're even worse than I thought.
