It goes both ways. I agree cmd click on the title is definitely less intuitive (hell, I just learned that now). If I were guiding a new user to macOS, I would instead show how to reveal the Path Bar on Finder which requires less memorization from the user. Not sure why that isn't enabled by default. That or explain the arrow-key centric keyboard navigation, which has fewer exceptions than Explorer. But there are plenty of shortcuts on Windows that are the way they are for historical reasons, not because of user-centric design.
