MacOS is indeed clunky. Certain things which should be easy to do end up
being more complicated simply because they are in MacOS. One example is

Nonsense.  Control of screen mirroring and extending

One click to get into the bar, another to open up the screen controls
and a third to choose which setting you want. How is that better than a
keyboard combination as in Linux or Windows?

I couldn't say, I haven't used 'Doze for 20 years or Linux for 15 except
rarely in a VM.  I suppose it comes down to the question:  do you prefer
the GUI and trackpad or the CLI and keyboard?  I think it's rather harsh
to describe macOS as clunky just because you prefer the keyboard.
If I wanted to be rude, I could describe the CLI as old fashioned.
 
There's no accounting for taste, eh?

The CLI is indeed old-fashioned, but there are certain things that can
be done a lot better in the CLI than in a GUI. The many imagemagick and
libreoffice commands, for example.

There are many examples where the modern CLI (and using shell scripts to run
commands) are much more efficient than the GUI. Some people love their mouse
a lot more than I do.
