What's much worse than that is when "cross-platform" apps have cargo-cult integration into the environment's native behavior.
When you middle-click on any blank space or text in Firefox on X11, by default it takes the contents of the select buffer, and does the equivalent of pasting it into the address bar and hitting go. Some jackass that doesn't actually use it read that middle-click == paste and smeared it all over the app.
When combined with its magic address bar that does "I'm feeling lucky" searches for random text, the user-perceived result is that Firefox is stalking you and taking you to random pages that tangentially have something to do with what you're working on.
Added bonus: For many years the result for any invalid URL-like string (like a missing semicolon after http) was the Microsoft homepage, because there were a lot of old high-pagerank sites linking to it with the URL as the link text. Instead of blacklisting it or fixing the underlying behavior, they just googlebombed it to point to the Wikipedia article for HTTP.
Infuriating!
I'd much rather have the same bullshit everywhere than inane platform fealty that results only in different bullshit everywhere.
