Desktop icons were removed because they’re (at least in the devs’ opinions), a poor solution.
They were removed because they were never able to make them working properly. It was always an hack and had multiple issues. ANY other OS and DE has desktop icons…
Nope. They had it and removed it, and there are plenty of extensions to add them back if you (for some ungodly reason) want them. They’re not in vanilla Gnome because they don’t want them. And they’re right.
Practically all other DEs copy Windows, so yeah, of course they’ll have Windows UX elements.

All the extensions are plagued by the same issue they had before. Drag and drop from apps never working properly, the icon grid behaves incorrectly sometimes and other cosmetic glitches.
And right now millions of people do and I don’t see widespread issues.
It’s not a widespread issue, it’s something with the desktop icon extensions and the original implementation. In both cases the drag and drop from/to apps never worked fine.
You misunderstand. It was never a mistake. It was always an unfinished project because no one gave a flying…for anything that was of zero value.
Just because you want to use a tweak that carries too little organization and don’t care for the much more efficient method they replaced it with doesn’t mean you can’t go use gorram any other desktop.

No, I didn’t misunderstood, I know it was yet another GNOME unfinished project. Both the native thing and the extensions always had/have the same problems - drag and drop from apps never working properly, the icon grid behaves incorrectly sometimes and other cosmetic glitches.
for anything that was of zero value.
Now this is the thing, desktop icons are basic DE functionality and even Apple - the guys that actually know how to design anything - agree they should be there… at least with an option to turn them ON/OFF. The removal of desktop icons was simply the “GNOME vision” being used as an excuse not the fix something that was hard to fix.
You’re clearly a narcissistic shittalker because you can’t remove your face from a pile of shit. Makes me think you’re a pig because you won’t GTFO the pile of shit throw away by someone who will only ever put all of their shit right there.
Seriously, You can go fucking anywhere else and no farmer is forcing you…
…Hey…HEY! NO! WTF STOP EATING GORRAM SHIT YOU FUCKING PIG
Go the fuck away. No one wants wants to see you hurl up SOMEONE ELSE’S SHIT. I mean serious, you can eat anything anywhere else and instead you…

Nope. They work fine. Several distros even use them out of the box without issue.
You clearly never used those extensions.
Not for a long time, no. I prefer zero extensions. But back when I did… zero issues.
And right now millions of people do and I don’t see widespread issues.
I think you’re letting your irrational hatred cloud your judgement…

…yeah. GTFO. You are disgusting.
The funny thing is that you can’t prove me wrong there, apparently not even provide valid arguments, just add a pile of ramblings and insults.
