Yeah this is something that was brought home to me when my nine year old son wanted to design his own deck of playing cards
I thought about giving up my Mac so he could use Sketch. But then my partner suggested he try Figma on his iPad
I connected my old Magic Mouse and keyboard up to his iPad, Air-dropped the initial Sketch file we had made to him, and imported it into Figma. Once I taught him the basics of components, transforms and the shapes and vector tool he was up and running (I was pretty strict about naming his layers properly!). He quickly got through the whole deck in two suits
It still bothered me though: why was Figma using windows hotkeys, except for copy and paste? Why did the layers panels sometimes not scroll all the way to the bottom, text editing was clunky, things didn't feel quite as smooth. But it did the job
