There are certain things you have to do the Apple-way, which can take time to learn and accept, I will readily admit that. I think every system has some degree of this. Some people are more willing to accept those things than others. Every system also has some bugs and inconsistencies, Linux and Windows are also far from perfect in this area. I’m not sure what you’re comparing macOS to that doesn’t have inconsistencies or bugs.
As someone who switches between Windows, Mac, and Linux (KDE), the every-day bugs with Mac OS are far more annoying to me than the bugs in the other two.
In my experience when I find a bug in Windows or Linux, it’s normally quite a significant bug, but it’s an edge case that you only run into occasionally (e.g. WSL used to lock up completely on Windows 11 when hibernating).
When I find a bug on MacOS, it’s normally something minor, but in something I do all the time, so it ends up being more frustrating (e.g. the lock ups and stuttering every few seconds when Ventura was quite new, oh boy that was annoying).
Maybe it depends on usage patterns or something. I have also use macOS, Windows, and Linux regularly over the past 20 years and have had the opposite experience. I found the most annoying little bugs in Linux and the fewest in macOS. Frequent pinwheels on macOS can be infuriating, if that’s what you were having with Ventura. I can understand that, though I haven’t experienced it as a normal thing in probably 10 years.
I do currently have one really major annoying issue on macOS, but it’s my work laptop and I’m 99.9999% sure it’s related to some horse shit the company has installed on there, and the bug is related to another piece of corporate software, so I blame my company and terrible software choices, not the OS itself. Windows at work was the same way, our IT department can turn any OS to junk. Linux at work has been mostly on servers, and has had it’s own bugs, which I guess are more annoying since when those bugs crop up it can lead to a production outage.
I wish it was pinwheels, sadly it was just complete lockups, as in, not even the mouse would move. It got worse and was most noticeable when an external monitor was attached.

That sucks. Hopefully it’s not still happening. I’ve had that a few times on I think every OS, but it’s been a long time and never a regular thing.
