Just because you never bothered to learn how to use shortcuts on Mac doesn’t make them inconsistent.
I can use the same set of shortcuts across all applications on Mac, such as copy paste as was pointed out earlier, or exit, or preferences, etc.
> On Mac, the distinction between Ctrl, Option and Cmd is arbitrary.

Literally first link.
Command is the key on Mac, option adds hidden capabilities and Control was added for whoever wanted to use it. For OS shortcuts I don’t even know if I ever use Control, only Vim.
And it is used for OS shortcuts, which also includes most used functions like switching windows and copy pasting, unlike Windows and Linux.
And just because they’re more “consistent” in your head, even though they’re not, it doesn’t make them any less awful. Using Command key for every OS shortcut is far superior than using mix of Control and Option.
Just one most obvious example: copy and paste between windows. CMD C, CMD TAB, CMD V. Who’s more consistent now?
