Most people are familiar with the iOS model already. It's rare to find Mac users who aren't.

It's a bad model, because the iPhone Settings app itself is bad.

The order is seemingly random. You can't reorder, pin favorites, or hide unwanted settings. Many things are buried deep in hierarchies.

Not to mention that iPhone Settings is based on a small, non-resizable window and a touch interface, neither of which are true of the Mac.

Familiar crap is still crap.
