I agree with your point that the list was completely arbitrary. Actually they didn't mention any of my favorite things about the macOS UI vs Windows.

The only thing I don't understand about your comment is this:

Batch file renaming is a Unix thing.

macOS is based on Unix, sure - but what does that have to do with the macOS Finder's built-in file rename UI?

Windows PowerShell is just as powerful as Unix if you want do do command-line renaming.

Oh yeah my point is that it's not a Mac thing, there is no advantage that MacOS has re:file operations that Linux doesn't, and yes windows has an equivalent too.
