Considering how many times and how many ways macOS has pissed me off over the years, that’s pretty hard to imagine. If what you say is true, then Windows 11 must be seriously awful.
My idea of an actual computer is one that doesn’t try to tell me which software I’m allowed to run and which files I’m allowed to read or write. A computer should obey its owner, first and foremost, not some necktie-wearing corporate minion.
'Course, Windows doesn’t fit that definition any more, either. Only free and open source operating systems like Linux do, which is part of why I use them. I won’t consider the ARM-based MacBook an actual computer until and unless I can run Linux on it without any significant issues.
On Windows, if you want to run a program that’s not signed by a trusted CA, you just have to click “yes” when it asks if you’re sure, or just add the CA who did sign it to the set of trusted CAs.
On a Mac, if you want to run a program that’s not signed by Apple, you need to know the secret override handshake (right click the program and click “Open”), and there is no way to tell the system to trust anyone other than Apple.

They’re worse.
