I would really like to see this kind of work be done upstream. Emacs still looks the same as it did decades ago despite other editors advancing and becoming more user friendly.

A huge portion of the emacs community seems resistant to any UI improvement. I think it's a counterculture thing.

Nonsense. Many emacs users spend their whole lives inside of it so they're quite sensitive to what is actually an improvement and what is not. The arrival of the various modern completion packages -- vertico, orderless, consult, etc. have been welcomed ... but note that these are all add-on packages. Likewise, all of the "improvements" provided by the OP are a matter of loading and configuring packages.

People who aren't regular emacs users tend not to understand it and are not reliable reporters about the editor or its community.
