Is your objection that you expected the user to have previously been well-versed with macOS via a Hackintosh? > This person is new to computers in general and maybe is a longtime windows-user but that’s all they are. You have, in fact, iterated the opposite cases from being a first-time Mac user: either they are a first time computer user, or they are a long-time computer user, just with a different OS (likely Windows).

Because every one of their complaints is about the GUI and has nothing to do with the Mac Operating System itself. Obviously they haven’t gotten far enough to have any complaints they can actually expound upon other than “I’m not able to arrange windows myself” and “also, I could use an app to do that but won’t!” Most windows users install 7zip or Winrar. Each point is carefully crafted whiny nonsense. It’s not unclear. Also, you can use a computer every day, most high school students do, and learn 2 apps: Word processor app Web browser app And that is the full and total extent of their capabilities. It’s VERY easy to fall into the trap of “wow this OS is bad, because it doesn’t work like the other one!” When that is again, total fucking bullshit. If you skin MacOS to look like windows or vice versa 99% or users will think the GUI is the OS, and so all their complaints are about the current GUI setup. It is the Automobile equivalent of “I don’t like that I had to adjust my mirrors”. Who gives a shit?
