I think some of this stems from the fact that transient displays the
choices in a window that is actually not the "current window/buffer" in
the common Emacs sense --- it does take some getting used to --- at
least in the beginning.
I've gotten used to it over time, but only after writing some of my own
Emacspeak wrappers --- on the positive side, the transient author has
been very helpful in that process.
So on the plus-side, magit/transient does go somewhat outside the
"vanilla emacs box", but it's also a good opportunity to experiment with
new/newer interaction paradigms. I dont think this will cause Emacs to
go the Apple/Microsoft way since as a community, Emacs will never lock
itself down to one single frozen way of doing UI.
(Or at least I hope so):-)
