For me using elementary OS for a bit was truly awful: its UX was the worst I ever used.
It just felt like a gnome reskin, some clunky apps and insane defaults settings on top of ubuntu making everything worse just to please mac users. And yet it doesn't bring anything new on the table and is still way less pleasing to use than macOS (or mac has been doing really bad since the last time I used it).
If some few people really find it nice to use, good for them. But it's no suprise elementary OS is failing.

100% agree. When I tried to use it a long while ago, it was not good. UI felt clunky and almost unresponsive when compared to similar desktop environments.
