In fact, it was Microsoft who was late to adopt such a nifty feature (some would say they 'copied' it from apple, but I'll let you make up your own mind on that). Overall though, while the mac is a solidly build system, the lack of customization options accessible to the everyday user like you mentioned can be a turn off for some. However, Mac OSX is based on FreeBSD and comes with all the standard Unix tools, but that's another story...
