I'm not a particularly smart designer, but I always thought that consistency was supposed to be the ultimate aspiration - with differences only occurring when justifiable. So I'm still in shock that of all the big software releases this month - #MacOS26, #Android16 - it is #Gnome49 that seems to step forward in this regard.
The Linux platform is not without its problems and limitations, but the team behind #Gnome really deserve massive kudos: https://release.gnome.org/49/

GNOME 49 reenables the x11-support switch for GDM because it breaks the complete X11 support in GDM, including the starters to launch X11 desktop environments
So for now, the X11 support stays in GDM until they remove it in GNOME 50
