My observation too.

It is kind of evolution, just for computers.

Macs early developed good pointing devices and as a result many keyboard related aspects can afford to be somewhere between weird and crazy.

Bonus for Mac people insisting everything is fine.

And I still consider getting a MacBook Pro next month, Windows PCs are that bad even with WSL :-/

Edit: at least these days, fn and ctrl can finally be remapped and CMD-tab can be fixed so it works consistently between two Firefox (or two Safari) windows, an IDE and Finder. It used to be that I would have to CMD-tab to the Firefox group, then CMD-| to get to the correct browser window and it was one of the things that truly messed up my workdays the last time I used Mac back in 2012. (No dedicated home/end buttons and every app seemingly being free to choose what shortcut they would use for it was probably the most painful one though.)
