After using Mac I’m never going back to pressing modifiers with the pathetic pinky instead of the strong thumb. It’s especially nice with an MS Natural keyboard with its gigantic alt keys, remapped to cmd.
Supposedly some early keyboards had ctrl under the thumb, which is why Emacs has it employed quite a bit. I wonder if other apps and systems also had the same logic initially, leading to ctrl used as the main modifier in Windows and Linux.

I prefer it, however there are apps for Mac to remap it if you like. I use Karabiner to remap my Capslock to Escape. I have Capslock and moving the escape key there is much more ergonomic and where i have it on my custom mechanical keyboards.
