Well, I disagree, as someone who has used Linux, Windows, and mac pretty extensively.
Any of the interfaces anywhere approaching "easy to use" all have pretty severe limitations at some point. At that point, you rely on the application ecosystem to fix it up.
macOS has a good application ecosystem. Where the base system doesn't fit your needs, where you prioritize spending your time, you bring in the 3rd party applications. Just like you don't write code in Notepad, if you love window management to death, you go and install something like slate.
So in my opinion your real day-to-day experience depends on your priorities and application ecosystem, regardless of platform. macOS seems to have a healthy application ecosystem, perhaps because mac users tend to buy apps. You have a smaller system overall, but in a hand-wavy sense, the median mac application feels more polished than the median windows application.
