Because it's a UX mess.
Because creative FOSS is usually terrible, their methods demolish the flow of an average creative worker with constant "No, it doesn't work like that "-type interruptions.
Intuitive functionality is never a priority and never done right. If anything it seems to be viewed as sacriliege to sacrifice clean and simple code for the base instincts of an ignorant user.
I remember finding some comments from people being pissed that Blender got an Undo function. Felt like I was living in a bizarro world.

Eh? More of a GIMP-specific issue. Krita, Kdenlive, and Inkscape for example are all fantastic, not to mention Blender
Krita, fantastic? That comment might've convinced someone who hasn't tried it. It does not convince me.
The fact that you mention "Kdenlive" and Inkscape along with Krita makes me expect the two others to be absolute dogshit.
I find Krita to be amazing... Did we even use the same app?
