The world has moved on from desktop environments to multi-device integration like Watch, Phone, AirTags, Speakers, TV and in that way Linux usability is certainly worse than MacOS.
Oh sort of. That is for sure a thing, but not THE thing.
I would argue people are being tugged in that direction more than it being simply better.
You can bet when people start to get to work building things --all sorts of things, not just software, they find out pretty quickly just how important a simple desktop running on a general purpose computer really is!
