<pre>Windows allows this using Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) APIs and extending the
Client Frame [1] replacing the Standard Frame.
IIUC macOS AppKit does also, from the NSWindow/NSView ->
NSAppearanceCustomization [2], but as we make no use of NSAppearance (taking
defaults) for the NSWindow/NSView and stylemask(s).
So both of these would require entirely new development in native code to do
any sort of client side decoration.
While on Linux--X11, and now Wayland, there are multiple code paths for doing
this depending on the DE supporting GUI toolkit being supported.
So, while it could be done--there is no _compelling_ requirement to do so, and
a whole bunch of pain involved in trying to implement cross platform with any
consistent fashion. Allowing OS and DE defaults just makes more sense from a
UX position.
Again IMHO => WONTFIX
