Given the title I was expecting some kind of surprise, but everything works exactly as you would expect.

I like my Macs precisely because they are boring and almost never surprise me.

TBH, the only reason my Linux boxes surprise me is because I try stupid things such as mounting /var/log as a tmpfs to reduce write loads (mostly on RPis SD cards and eMMC devices).

I don't know about that — macs have enough weird behaviours that it wouldn't totally surprise me if, soon, they required a network connection, or the lack of one would at least make things awkward. For example, the inability to use clamshell mode without AC power.
