I've personally always loathed the global menu bar paradigm of macOS. Having a menu bar that's wholly detatched from the currently open window that is context-aware based on which window has focus always felt like an irritating speed bump to me. My mind feels like the OS itself is hiding things from me by only allowing me to see a single app's menu bar at a time.
But then again, I have no objective qualms with it. I'm sure I could adapt to it. When have I realistically needed to see more than one menu bar at once? I can't name a time. I'm probbably just pearl-clutching at the perceived arresting of my agency to do things when in fact I'm losing effectively nothing.
At any rate, we agree it's a sure sight better than the shitshow that is GTK. "Hm? Window decorators and shit? Nahhh, those are your problem. Go roll your own." For the flagship windowing toolkit of the GNOME Project, the DE I'd consider the closest in philosophy to what macOS has going on, that was a rather strange position to take.
