Springbars with quick release are far easier to use and more compatible.

I've always thought that the apple design adds a LOT of size to the watch head with the way they intrude inside the case. If they didn't do that and had the standard horns/lugs that every other watch has the watch head could be smaller. Also occurs to me that might be a desired result though so they can have a bigger display.

Springbars are manifestly not easier to use at all. They're more fragile and far more difficult to use.
