I have had the same complaints for a while. I switched to Mac OS X around 2004 because it was just massively better in terms of quality of life for the user. The OS has continued to improve while Windows has been epically stagnant. Even with major pushes to modernize things, it still feels like it's been bolted together with duct tape and bailing wire. It's just horrible.
It seems like virtually any linux distribution you can pick at random with a dart and it would have overall better quality of life on things like a basic terminal app. Microsoft has even tried to improve their terminal a few times and it still totally feels terrible. If I didn't have to use windows for a few work things, I would never go near it again. And in future jobs, me using it at all for work is definitely off the table.
