Windows is pretty bad, but I have to give the dark pattern award to macOS for being overbloated with services. Especially if you're an average Joe; wouldn't you assume that AppleTV plays your video files, and Apple Music focuses on playing your MP3s? How are you supposed to know that Quicktime is the less intrusive option? It's hidden in a glut of inscrutable, outdated apps like Automator, 3D Chess and the graphing calculator everyone opens by accident. At least Windows knows to hide the cruft apps from the Start menu.
It's gotten to the point with macOS that I don't think my parents could use it. They use Windows just fine without knowing the difference between Terminal and Command Prompt, but macOS would be a mnemonic shoggoth too far.
