Maybe you should read the help file instead of going on "feelings". Every UI widget in Windows can be operated from the keyboard.

Oh come on. You're just making up reasons to dislike it at this point. "The shortcut key is a half-inch further away! THIS IS AMAZINGLY IMPORTANT MIND-BLOWING SUPER-FLAW!"
Actually I'm not making stuff up. I use to wear a fitbit charge hr and the first week I had to go back to using Windows you could see when I would get frustrated with Windows by my HR going up in the app.
And that was an example, not an exhaustive list. But honestly, yes the fact that the ctrl is so important to keyboard shortcuts on Windows but is in such a difficult (for me) position to get to is a big deal.
New tab, new window, find in page, open dev tools, and many many more, require using ctrl on Windows.
