>Considering how slow the new calculator app is

What's bad about it? For me it always does the job whenever I fire it up.

How many adults are being distracted by the Windows calculator app?

> scales nicely to whatever size you make it

In Programmer mode if you type in a number larger than 32 bits and the window is scaled to its smallest size, the lower row of binary is cut off a little bit.

I also like new calculator app in windows.

TBH date calculator is my most used feature there.

But calculator app in macOS... Real horror.

Try to open units converter from top app menus.

You worked all life as a cashier with a hand calculator 15 x 15 cm ( 5 x 5 in).

One day your boss comes: your calculator is obsolete, you need to use the one on the wall with every number being 25 x 25 cm (10 x 10 in). Good luck

Your PC keyboard didn't change though. The numbers and arithmetic symbols are still in the same places.

And yes, people did have to switch calculators from time to time. Source: my mom, an accountant. Your argument is a very weak nothingburger.
