The floppy drive on the original Macintosh did this too, which is why it was about to fit 800K on what it’s usually a 720K floppy (and also why those floppies can’t be read by almost any modern drives).
The constant speeding up and slowing down also caused those drives to make some interesting noises… Often it sounded like some kind of animal growling.
macOS has been UNIX-based for the last couple of decades, though. Much closer to Linux, with a full POSIX shell, and basically much better for development and other “real computing” tasks than Windows, where you have to use something like WSL, Cygwin, or git-bash to kinda-sorta emulate a bash shell.
IMO, the only thing Windows excels at these days is gaming, making the “toy” comment somewhat ironic.
