Here’s one of the dirty secrets of macOS:
They build in animation delays so that the experience of using the fastest computer and the slowest computer is the same.
Take for example moving one virtual desktop to the right with control-rightarrow. It’s slow AF compared to Windows or Linux with animations off. macOS also does vsync because they never ever want visual tearing in the UI. That slows you down again. Windows does not care if you set it to look like speedy sh## and will tear all day. It’s like a dune buggy, it’ll let you do whatever and if you lose an arm it’s your own fault.
macOS is a limo with your grandparents driving. “Can I open the sunroof?” “No, it might rain” “Can I watch TV?” “No, you’ll get carsick” “....” “Stop playing with the window control!”
