And Windows is fine after tweaking and adjusting dozens of settings.

MacOS or Linux also require tweaking to be useful for most people.

I probably flip several settings to make macOS liveable for myself. I’d have to do all the adjustments Paul discussed and probably more to make Windows liveable.
I on the other hand need about a day or two (interspersed with real work) to tweak a Linux system, a few more than that to tweak a Windows system, and a week or two for a Mac. And newer versions of all of them keep breaking the essential tweaks, so I am constantly frustrated by the OS getting in my way.

You can prove anything with anecdotes :)

to be useful? For most people? wow, that's quite a claim.
