The file pickers in general in Linux are just dreadful. Wouldn't companies who release commercial products on Linux contribute to it by assigning a team to overhaul this? It's unbelievable that it seems okay to them to leverage "free" OS that people wrote sacrificing time with their families often after work into the night, without giving anything back. It especially looks bad when companies make billions off of these tools and won't share a penny with contributors nor open source their products.
I don't think it's a contributor problem, I think it's maintainers who don't approve of the changes necessary to make something work. In this case Gnome and KDE teams need to work together to fix this, and they're insular and will never cooperate.
