You not knowing that the Mac equivalent of the start button has a shutdown option is the “UI discouraging?”

How does the Windows UI encourage shutdowns?

I only shut down my windows and mac machines. Windows is at least weekly, mac is about 2-3 times per month.

Because the windows shutdown option is in the start menu, which you see constantly. The Mac shut down option is in a menu which I almost never click. To me, that indicates the designers have different ideas about how often users want to shutdown/restart. Apparently lots of people disagree though since I got downvoted a lot (which I don’t think is what downvote is for, but whatever...)
