Mac OS is so capable in many areas, but so lacking in others.
Copy/Paste: Windows allows you to use Windows/Paste to access the
last few Copy commands. Mac OS allows only the last copy. You need an
App for that.
Mac OS Mouse and Keyboard settings are scattered across
Mouse/Keyboard and Accessibility controls.
Right Click options are much more limited than Windows. In Windows I
can format a SD card with a right-click. In Mac OS I need to use Disk Utility. In Windows Word I can copy a selection with Right-Click
Copy. Not in Mac OS.
Again in Office, why are some commands duplicated in the OS bar and
in the Office App commands??? Confusing.
Windows has the option to use a File Explorer check box to randomly
select files anywhere in OS and apps file lists. I cannot find that
useful and intuitive feature in Mac OS.
Why does Mac OS continue to remind you if you disconnect from
external storage devices and not "Eject" them first? NEVER had a data
loss in Windows, but that is the excuse.
I'll come up with a few more I'm sure.

HMMM, my mistake on the Word right-click. However Finder, a native
Apple app, also has duplicated commands between the app and the menu
bar. The whole concept of having 2 places for commands is confusing
and inconsistent among apps. In Windows app commands are always in
the same place - the app.
File select? Of course command-Click works in Windows File Explorer
too. The check boxes are a lot easier to work with. The are also more

All-in-all you just continue to make lame excuses for Mac OS
shortcomings.
So here is another one. Why is my Apple Magic Keyboard so different
from the Mac's? Magic has a numeric keypad, both delete and backspace
keys, page up, page down, home, end, F Keys 13-19, and the arrow keys
are in a different place from the Mac's. Except for the extra F keys
my HP has all of the Magic's keys. If those keys are so useful why
does the Mac omit them???? The 16" Pro has plenty of room for a
larger keyboard. To get those missing key commands requires
memorizing key combinations like Fn up arrow for page up. Hardware inconsistency and missing basic functionality is not so great for a
machine that is supposed to be so "intuitive" to the end user.
It is amazing how things that are not intuitive at all seem to become
so after you get accustomed to how they work. If someone who has
never used a Mac was handed one and asked to simply page down on a
web page or Word document using the keyboard only they would not know
how to "Fn down arrow" right away. I do Google to find the key
combinations. If you have used a Mac for years it's "intuitive" I
suppose.

So here is another one. Why is my Apple Magic Keyboard so different
from the Mac's? Magic has a numeric keypad, both delete and backspace
keys, page up, page down, home, end, F Keys 13-19, and the arrow keys
are in a different place from the Mac's. Except for the extra F keys
my HP has all of the Magic's keys. If those keys are so useful why
does the Mac omit them???? The 16" Pro has plenty of room for a larger
keyboard. To get those missing key commands requires memorizing key
combinations like Fn up arrow for page up. Hardware inconsistency and
missing basic functionality is not so great for a machine that is
supposed to be so "intuitive" to the end user.
It is amazing how things that are not intuitive at all seem to become
so after you get accustomed to how they work. If someone who has never
used a Mac was handed one and asked to simply page down on a web page
or Word document using the keyboard only they would not know how to
"Fn down arrow" right away. I do Google to find the key combinations.
If you have used a Mac for years it's "intuitive" I suppose.
My favorite "Mac falls short" is the right mouse click not being enabledI mostly agree.
in a new Mac. Even though the included mouse has right click
functionality built in. Why on earth does Apple do that? So stupid and dumbass.
It's long past the time when people didn't understand what a right-click
was.

Right Click options are much more limited than Windows. In
Windows I can format a SD card with a right-click. In Mac
OS I need to use Disk Utility. In Windows Word I can copy a
selection with Right-Click Copy. Not in Mac OS.

Yes, Apple finally caught up to Windows 2000 context menus some years
ago. Even started allowing resizing windows from any edge or corner
and now works better than Windows in some respects.
But there are Windows features worth imitating. Of course the real
reason I made the post was to pull your rabid Apple defense of chain.

EXACTLY my point too. If you gave someone Windows that had never used
a computer would they know how to access the most recent Word docs
with a right button click on Word's taskbar icon? Not likely. But
after you see that you get the idea that the right mouse button can
be very useful and it becomes "intuitive".

manual I was reminded that context menus came to Windows OS 2 years
Mac OS 8. File Manager was also already light years ahead of Finder
at that time.
And yes, there were lots of issues with layering a GUI on top of 16
bit DOS and it’s many limitations. But it was a step toward 32 bit
Windows 2000.

my own use of SD’s is a much more common use case: used in a digital camera, and card formatting is done in the camera.
