Yes, and this is the reason why there is a shared menu bar and why many early macos apps had a number of floating windows, like Photoshop.

My earliest exposure to computers was a Mac (though Windows, Linux, and BeOS also came into the picture fairly early on) and I don’t find the Mac model the least bit problematic. On the contrary, I find the Win9X model overly simplistic and unmanageable past a small handful of windows.
