Who cares if it looks native?

Native UIs change all the time too and not always for the better.

I change clothes all the time too, still match the pieces of clothing each time.

There's aesthetic value to coherence. There's also design, usability value. I have Telegram, Steam and Firefox opened right now and each one of them displays different minimize/maximize/close buttons on the top right. That's not ideal.

Change over time is something different from apps looking vastly different at any given time.
