There certainly are aspects that could be better, but renaming is not one of them. The default behavior on Windows File Explorer is actually a bad UX decision imo. You click a file and you might accidentally rename the file in the process. Please don't attach too much (hidden) behavior. Sure I got used to it in Windows, but it's surely not the best way to rename files. It should be explicit and if you do it often, you can use the shortcut (that is just F2 usually).
