Why would they not supply some default decorations when none are available?
Jesus, Gnome is such a shitshow.
Their go-to solution is libdecor, which is just a library that implements a titlebar, still putting the burden on apps (Or rather, whatever windowing library they use) to be responsible for it.
Worst thing is, I kinda get their argument against supporting it, they're just really inflexible about it which just makes the whole issue too heated.
