I'm not sure on what basis you came to your conclusion but I do not have my issues with OneDrive on Mac and gdrive on Windows for ages.

They mentioned a specific feature (delta sync) that not all providers support. Onedrive seems to after 2020, but I don't think Gdrive does.

It doesn't matter if you're just syncing a bunch of small files (code, documents, images) but can make a big difference in bigger files (compressed archives, large media assets, etc.)

Google Drive used to, maybe still does keep versioning metadata in file names
