When I was young there was a thing called "keyboard navigation". The user would press tab to move the keyboard cursor to the next control element on the screen, and spacebar to activate it, Enter to activate the default button (OK), or Esc to press "Cancel". Menus and most important controls had ALT+key shortcuts. Windows provided all elements with keyboard navigation by default and devs took great care for the controls to activate in the most logical order. Even browsers and websites had keyboard navigation.
Such wonderful times... Gone now. Everything is touchscreen-only.
Not sure what alternate universe you got stuck in, but I'm using a Macbook Pro with all those features, plus some. OS accessibility has gotten better, not worse. Web design has gone the opposite direction unfortunately, which is ironic because the web community is the one berating everyone over a11y constantly
