This does not match my experience using Airpods Pro on Windows.

On the other hand it is seemingly impossible to use the microphone of these Airpods and listen to music at the same time. The quality is atrocious. Something that I assume is possible on a Mac. (Anybody knows of a solution? I read it's because of bluetooth profiles or whatever...)

Regarding quality, what version of Bluetooth did the chip on your windows machine supported and what features? This can be the answer, it usually switches profile when using mic to compensate for latency that gives you shitty audio quad liturgy but it's much better with newer Bluetooth versions in my opinion.

Frankly I wish I could do that with Android. If I use my decade-old shitty bluetooth headphones I get no perceptible lag and I can game with them.

No, on a Mac the headphones switch profiles with Mic as well, it's pretty obvious when they go from A2DP to HFS profile.

Airpod Pros have a fairly small latency. You may not have noticed it.
