The thing that makes it extremely hard to switch from macOS to a linux desktop is not just bias and app selection.

macOS is the only OS+app ecosystem with consistent shortcuts and behaviours, some of which can't be replicated on other platforms.

Keyboard shortcuts:
CMD+q => close the app (exception for things that have to always run eg. chat apps => closes to app indicator)

CMD+w => close the window ( the app stays running and keeps its state. This paradigm of an app with no windows doesn't exist on any other platform afaik )
CMD+h hides the app's window
CMD+m minimizes to the dock

Less common but still widely available:
CMD+, open preferences of the app
CMD+r reload the current view
CMD+o open the selected item
CMD+d dismiss a dialogue / don't save (affirmative action preselected, acknowledged by pressing enter)
CMD+i more info about an selected item

Every somewhat competent / native mac app has these functions mapped corretly.

For those that don't there's the native menu item shortcut reassign function in the macos keyboard settings ( similar to what KDE has, but there it only works for KDE apps ) or to do it even more comprehensively #BetterTouchTool ( https://folivora.ai/ ) a tool that has a feature set and UI searching for its equal.

Windows has the powertoys key remapper or autohotkey, I guess. The latter I use to somewhat fix my experience on my work pc: https://gist.github.com/apfelchips/e30321f33abc1eb1a481e83b1e79d5c5#file-macos-shortcuts-ahk-L412
