Hard disagree. If people cared, then all iOS apps would use standard styling, but the matter of fact is that every app has its own style, which does not stop at colors. They all share the same affordances (top left arrow to go back, bottom tab bar) but the UI is more often than not heavily customized.

Take Slack for example with its fancy menus, not even close to what Apple uses. No feelings expected there. Let's not talk about Google apps, which live in its own UI world.

This assumes they have a choice between equivalent apps that OS-integrated and one that are not. Many times, they don't.

Anecdotally: while some people don't care about consistency in the art they put on their walls, most do.

Slack is included in the "apps that you use all the time" rule. Also in the "apps you don't have a choice about" rule.
