Is it worth pointing out that GNOME doesn't always use FOSS for creating branding materials? Sure.
Is it a betrayal of the entire FOSS movement? A loss of "all pride and dignity"? No.
Pointing fingers like this is more a betrayal of FOSS principles than what GNOME has done and makes me embarrassed to consider myself a part of the community. If you're working to support FOSS it is your right to use whatever software enables that goal best.
Gnome didn't copy OSX, they copied webOS. Checkout any webOS tablet videos on youtube and you will find how similar it is. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTOuf1Eb9uA

This feels like a great example of crying wolf. In the future I’ll be much less interested in what this author has to say.
Apple should have a lawsuit against them.

No needs. GNOME has and always will have a worse UI/UX than Apple.
For what?
For stealing Apple design.
There is so much prior art in GUI design it's very difficult to make a claim like that.
