Mac's shortcut paradigms developed independently of IBM's CUA so they're definitely not complicated for the sake of complexity. I actually think for use with a unix-based operating system, they're much more sensible. There's no overlap with terminal commands that are mostly based on control, thus you don't need to remap basic things like pasting in the terminal to ctrl+shift+v.

It doesn't exist as a physical key but it does work with an external keyboard. Alternatively, you might find something like Karabiner Elements [1] useful. You can make all sorts of arbitrary changes to the keyboard's behavior, including the built in one. This is sort of similar to setxkbmap, xcape, and interception-tools in linux land.

I've discussed the shortcut thing with a friend who prefers the shortcuts on Mac, too. At the end it comes down to what you're used to and what you've learned and used for the past years I guess.

I'll definitely take a look at karabiner elements - I've seen it being mentioned in some kind of Apple subreddit as well alongside software for window snapping or at least "dividing" the screen as in Linux and Windows. Thanks for the answer!
