Ctrl + UP or "swipe up with three fingers" gesture on Apple Magic Trackpad will reveal all the active open windows and show a thumbnail of all the active workspaces (virtual desktop). It's much, much faster than alt / cmd + tab.

MacOS certainly has virtual desktops and calls it "Spaces" ( https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/work-in-multiple-spaces-mh14112/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/work-in-multiple-sp... ).
(But yeah, you are right in that some users may not be using it - I don't use it at all. I prefer to use tabbed windows, only have a single monitor and when the number of open applications or windows overwhelms me, I just close many of them.)
