This is exactly how I've always felt about the Mac OS UI. Small example of why I feel this way: There are many windows on a Mac that you can open that you then cannot switch back to with the keyboard alone. Try it out - on an unmodified macOS open "About this Mac" then alt-tab to some other program. Now try to get back to "About this Mac" with your keyboard the same way you switched away from it. And it's the same for any window you open from a menu-bar.
Macs fail so horribly on such a very, very, very basic interaction and the entire OS is filled with shit like this. I could literally fill an entire blog with examples of how badly the macOS fails users, but that would mean I'd have to use my Macs more often for things other than just compiling iOS apps. No fucking thanks!
Windows is a mecca of consistency where it really matters compared to this garbage. Sure, you can complain about the rare times that you're exposed to 2 different control panels (yawn) but if you fuck up very basic things like window management like macOS does it's much, much worse IMO.
I feel like really good marketing, sex appeal, status symbolism, herd immunity (at least in Silicon Valley) and of course the fact that macOS is a very stable, low-maintenance Unix keep a lot of people blind to the glaring inconsistencies in the macOS UI.
