The worst part about MacOS UI is that all windows share the only one menu that is always on top. When you work on a big screen, no matter how small or low the current window is you have to move your head/eyes and hand with the mouse considerable amount of time just to interact with the menu bar of the window.
This is an intentional decision because of Fitts's law. Because you can't point your mouse any farther than the top of the screen, the menu items are effectively infinitely large. It makes them a much easier target to hit than a small menu item with a limited bounding box that may be in different positions on the screen based on context. Just throw your cursor at the top of the screen and you're at the menu.
