Devs are constantly making the mistake of falling in love with immediate mode GUIs... because it's convenient for them, the developer. For the user, it's almost always a worse experience as things don't behave in the same way as the rest of the platform they're on.

egui is great for video game debug UI overlays and internal tools, and maybe some specialized graphical tools. Otherwise its quirks are too annoying for general purpose app usage. Sure, you banged out a UI quickly with it, at the expense of your users.
