I have to agree with the other person actually. The drag and drop thing is kind of weird. They ought to just automate it.
Other than that I think Mac is fairly easy to use, and more customizable than people realize.
I do wish they had better window management though. GNOME and Windows both make window snapping so much easier than Mac. And the support for third party hardware on Mac is pretty bad.
The drag and drop thing is because it's an app file. "Installation" is just putting the file in your application folder, or wherever you want it. Apps are (usually) just files, unlike on windows, so you don't need to go through a complicated installation process, just put them where you want them (usually the applications folder).
The window snapping thing is annoying (but it's not apple's fault, Microsoft has a patent on it lol). There's a bunch of free apps that add window snapping though 🤷♀️
