I think where macOS shines is it's standardization of things beyond the unix terminal. (I'm also a big fan of the hardware. 2019 macbook has been the best laptop I've owned so far) In terms of fighting the OS, I don't know where that comes from. Anything cli you generally use sudo, anything else you open the security settings and tick some boxes. I don't even have to type my password, I just touch the finger print reader. Then the program works forever. (I have a keybinding to open security settings too, so it only takes maybe 5 seconds most of the time) I honestly don't know what people are fighting, unless they just really hate clicking through a few menus. One key piece of advice I follow is NEVER update to the latest new OS version. Almost every person I know does and they run into crazy issues that shouldn't even be problems. I'm not going to be your free QA engineer, Apple.
