As others have noted, the Macintosh has always avoided this by using the Command key.
I really wish we could create additional OS level modifier keys like Shift, Control, Alt, Window/Command. Such functionality would go along way to solving this issue and maintaining the normal key bindings. This would allow me to add macOS style keybindings on Windows and Linux.
I know about Kinto. And have created my own Windows 1000 line AHK macro along with a fully programmable hardware keyboard to mostly get the key bindings I want. However, being able to add my own OS level modifier keys would make this so much easier and better
