I think their vision is solid.
I just think there are gaps in following their vision. Wheres the “create new empty file”? Where’s the “open folder in terminal”?
Why do I need to install bunch of bloatware to change more than 2 options?
Gnome is about deliberate lack of features. Blank windows with the few existing UI elements crammed into the top bar and a hamburger menu with nothing in it because Gnome and its associated software are not intended to be used for anything.
Conclusion: the clear vision that Gnome devs have is obviously wrong.

It’s a non-profit, open source project.
If you don’t like it, just ignore it.
It’s not a commercial project where market share is important.
The only defense of Gnome: It’s not mandatory.
Except they also do GTK, which still manages to leak outside their 9 foot thick steel and concrete containment vessel.
