Like if there was a clear order of usability between Linux and MacOS :) it's more a matter of habits and preferences (and religion maybe for some ^^) than anything else.
But we can say this: there's nothing intuitive about Windows' incomplete transition to the new settings app that still sometimes requires you to jump to the old control panel system; there's nothing intuitive about Linux' 50 desktop environments, each with their own incomplete configuration systems. In any kind of match up, MacOS will win on simplicity and intuitiveness hands down simply because every other option is just much worse.
To an extent, but then the test is seeing how people who have never used any system interact. I maintain the MacOS paradigm is objectively less intuitive than alternatives.

Sure, that's clumsy. Not really relevant though.

Strongly disagree. MacOS comes in behind Windows for certain, and likely behind a couple of FOSS DEs as well. Windows has issues, but usability isn't one of them.
I'd be really happy if I could easily deploy small self-contained embedded applications using general purpose ARMv8 processors. Like one would do with an infotainment system for a car, which is currently done primarily with QNX.
