I am an old macOS user and I agree. You are getting downvoted because Mac users are ideological zealots who cannot take any criticism about their choices.

I have been subjected to both for a very long time and I have also concluded that often the Windows approach is just superior, more scalable and more intuitive.

The monitor issue is a particular pet peeve of mine because I am absolutely certain Apple did this to drive sales of their monitors. There have been more monitors released recently that match the ideal PPI target that macOS require but otherwise it's a large pain in the ass to work with 3rd party monitors. And macOS itself has many weird issues with monitors that my PCs just don't have (wake up in particular, and their HDMI implementation is always fucked up for some reason).

macOS looks good and has some quite decent software from passionate people but those are less and less prevalent and subscription push has made many of it quite unappealing.
