I use bettertouchtool to get window snapping. And you can turn off the animation when switching desktops in settings.

This is not a good point at all. Having to rely on third party applications (without any good way to discover them) to provide something that is taken for granted everywhere else is a horrible user experience!

It's the same if you want to use an external, non-Apple, completely normal HDMI monitor - use a third party application to make it use the default (for the monitor) refresh rate (60 Hz) and resolution (1920x1080).

It's the same if you want to use a completely normal USB computer mouse with a scroll wheel - install a third party application in order to make scroll wheel work like you expect.

And pretty much all those third party tools that are required to turn a Mac into a system that is actually working and allowing the user to be productive costs money as well.

I've never had issues with default resolution/refresh rate on any external monitors, including a non-conventional 1080p 240hz monitor that I use daily. Mice work normally for me as well, and you can change the scroll direction in system preferences if you want.

Errr.. that's not true at all for the monitors or the mice.
