The real fact of the matter is that both windows and osx have a suprior composited desktop experience right now, and better game support.
Composited desktops in linux are extremely random performance and stability-wise, probably partly due to driver crap but its a mess compared to say aero or quartz which perform well on every machine I've used them on.
On my machines scrolling is total crap with compiz enabled compared to windows. Kwin just has horrible performance all around :/ Haven't been able to really test gnome 3's mutter because gnome 3 doesn't work well with ati right now.
What I do love about linux is how configurable everything is, there's not any options for windows aero. But performance, stability, and usability wise linux has a very long way to go in this area.
I think a proper composited desktop experience is very important for a modern distro aimed at being user friendly.

But really, some people doesn't understand that desktop isn't tablet/phone. Or I'm the one being ignorant?

Compositor support is nice but more than basic support is probably not necessary in this reality.
