Sylpheed VS Nextcloud Mail

A genuine question: why is it that most open source email clients have websites that look like they were put together by Tim Berners Lee, as a test of "this web thing"? Here is another one https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

I had have a little problem recently with the email dates in the app, some emails do not show a date, says "(no date)", or somehow show the date with wrong format, ie, "17-Abr-2021". Tried to look for help in the program page https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/ but the forums and wiki are full of spam. Source: almost 3 years ago

To add to this, it's reasonably easy to run, and has many different plugins, from a calendar and contacts list, to an online document editor (like Google Docs, except it can be pretty slow and/or resource intensive: https://nextcloud.com/office/), to a simple clone of Slack (https://nextcloud.com/talk/), a mail client (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) and other things.
