UI - as in it refuses to behave as a native app in any way and they obviously don't care. For instance, it ignores system zoom levels etc. - very high DPI screen + old man eyes means I have everything slightly zoomed so that I can read it, the UI text in Figma is so small I have to physically move to actually read it.

This is just wrong. As I mentioned further down, a complex UI element with vector shapes and text on it can be perfectly copied and pasted between Sketch, Affinity Designer / Publisher / Photo, or even Pixelmator - I'm fairly sure it's just postscript in the paste buffer. Lord knows what is actually getting stored in the pasteboard when you copy from Figma, but whatever it is there's a 1/100 chance of you being able to paste it anywhere. If you copy as SVG it produces an abomination with all the text as paths.
The Figma -> Affinity Designer -> Sketch flow is just to get stuff into an app that doesn't behave in a completely alien way to every other app.
