I think you're right. That was definitely the object of Unity and Windows 8. 
And they were both rejected by the public. To me a computer is completely 
different than a smartphone or a tablet. I don't want them all to work the 
same.

My younger brother, when he worked for Xircomm was sent to Redmond to try to 
convince Microsoft to simplify their Windows phone software (they were 
trying to cram a desktop OS into an earlier Windows phone — at least that was 
the view of his bosses). Microsoft didn't want to hear it. Hubris again. 
"It's our way, or the highway." It turned out to be the "highway" for 
Windows phones. Ditto for Windows 8 and Unity.
