I frequently edit images in Preview on my Macs.
Yeah, you can resize and change format and that's about it. No drawing tools of any knid.

It does have drawing tools, as well as tools for working with exposure, sharpness, color, text, shapes, selection, etc. I’d suggest exploring the features in Preview. It can do a surprising number of things with images.

Preview is also great for saving and applying wet signatures.
Preview very much does have drawing tools
The lack of a native simple image editor does indeed suck. I've been using Paintbrush for years and it's good enough
But really, I just don't use that many desktop apps (or at least, not generic ones) so I don't have much of an issue on MacOS.
