I spent about a decade and a half using solely Linux, and one thing I really appreciate is that if a particular distro or upgrade had some behavior I didn’t like, I could just switch to a different desktop or window manager. I went back and forth between gnome, windowmaker, KDE, LXDE and so on many times.
No, OS X aggressively resists customization or convenience. There’s the Apple way to do pretty much everything and the painful way which is anything but the Apple way. Windows is anti-consumer because they want to harvest your data and cram ads down your throat. OS X just doesn’t care what you want or what you would prefer and will actively punish you if you attempt to deviate from the way it thinks you should be doing things. If something doesn’t work the way you want tough, OS X makes you adapt to it rather than trying to adapt to you.
These seem like mostly familiarity issues, where Windows issues are malicious in nature.
