Love the thought of having widgets on my desktop and rushed to instal a bunch. When I click on them they tell me to open on the iphone.
That puts me back where I was, but with added frustration. What's the point?

Are these third party widgets? Also make sure Settings->Desktop & Dock->Widgets->Use iPhone Widgets is enabled.
Have you looked at the widgets available by right clicking the desktop and selecting Edit Widgets? Every app you have installed on your Mac that supports widgets will be available there. There are a couple of hundred available to drag to the Desktop on my Mac running Sonoma.
Use widgets on your Mac desktop - Apple Support
Just to add, if you don't want Widgets that allow you to continue on an iPhone, I would suggest you only use the Mac Desktop Widgets.
You're welcome.
Since I don't use Widgets, any answer I give for others would be speculative.
Just a thought…
If I used iPhone Widgets and I was working on a Mac, seeing the iPhone Widget on my Mac may remind me to check the Widget on my iPhone.
I believe the question was about iPhone widgets.
+1 I mentioned that in my first post.
But if that was equal to seemless design then the App Store would be full of apps that don’t work.
Sure. But this is the shiny new OS. And these are current newly updated apps.
in the app studio if you try and download an incompatible app it either warns you or doesn’t allow the download.
When I click on the widgets on my MacBook Pro it asks me to open them on my iPhone
